Because of my mutant physique I have become a reluctant expert in this subject. And I am the smallest in a family who all have the same issue.
Vince,
Forget the "I am x feet and y pounds " stuff. The ratio of torso to leg length varies and may invalidate some of these assertions for you.
Don't just sit in one at a dealership. Drive it ,drive it a lot !
Here are 3 simple examples that bedevil tall people
1. If you pull up to an overhead traffic signal - can you see the red light without ducking down to look under the header at the top of the windshield ? I can see the green but not the red .
2. At a T junction , when you look right, how much of a blind spot does the rear-view mirror create if you lean forward ?
3. With the top in the UP position - can you easily get in and out ?
There is a helpful website - TallLife that gives some good ideas.
