I'm 6'3 and I fit into my 1968 mini just fine (after rails moved a bit). Fiance's dad is 6'5 and he fits into his excel. Her brother is 6'8 and fits fine into his skyline.

Maybe you're just looking at the wrong cars.

What is it with tall guys and minis? lol I had a mate who was about the same height as you who drove and loved his mini. Was a sight to see him behind the wheel, he was a solid bloke.
All I know is my gut says maybe.

I'd call myself solid. I'm not small by any stretch of the imagination :P I honestly think it comes from the fact that we have to live large in every other sense, so when we get our hands on a stupidly small car we see the other side of the world!
