How tall is tall? I'm 6'7" and there are very few mass produced vehicles I
feel comfortable driving.

That may be great for most people, however, when I sit in the driver's side
of a Mini, I need to tilt my head and have it stick out a bit in the sun
roof when I'm sitting up "straight". If the car doesn't have a sun roof,
well,...it doesn't look pretty. I will admit that when I was in the
co-driver's side, I was able to pull the seat back and lean back.

(Also, I doubt most folk would be unable to sit in the back seat of a Mini.)

Best,
