I'm just under 6', and 220 lbs and have no problem, I do drive with the seat all the back, but sometimes move it up an inch or so if my 6 year old daughter is behind me ( my 11 year son sits on the other side behind my wife ).

Head room is fine, but I do understand why there is no sunroof... When I wear a helmet for speedtrials ( kind of like autocrosses but faster with less cones and on which you do laps, more like a road course ) I must recline the seat a bit more to get enough headroom.

The throttle position is the only complaint, it's a bit off to the left and gets uncomfortable after a couple of hours. Sure you can use the cruise control to get relief but how much fun is that !
