I am wondering if anyone of similar size here owns can enlighten me as how comfortably they fit into a Mustang. I am 6'6 and would prefer a coupe. Thank you!

Depends on how you prefer to sit and your girth. Go to a dealer and sit in one. I'm 6'2" and fit pretty well - I'm thinking 6'6" is going to be pretty tight. But, one way to find out for sure if YOU'RE comfortable...

As long as you have the power seat you should have no issue,
They have a lot of adjustment in all ways.

Thanks, good to know about the power seats. I am going to go to a dealer and sit in one, but due to my busy schedule I don't want to waste the trip there if it's a forgone conclusion that it won't work. I don't think girth will be an issue as I am 6'6 190lbs.

I'm 6'4" (235 lbs) and don't have the seat all the way back. They have plenty of room.

I'm 6'5" and fit in fine. If my legs were any longer they might hit the steering wheel, but the car is surprisingly roomy

TMI's R&D guy is 6'8" and he simply puts the seat allll the way back

You should be fine!

Thanks everyone! Going to go try one out early next week as that is the first bit of free time I have. Crossing my fingers that I fit!

You can do it! I drove a Camaro 2010 and a Mustang 2012 across country last week for the Hot Rod Power Tour. Just put the sit back (no rear driver backseat)
and go.

Was more worried about head room than leg room as I figured I could just put the seat all the way back to accommodate my legs. Not much can be done if my head hits the ceiling.

The thing that drives me nuts is my knee hitting the key fob. I mean I'm only 5'9 but no matter how I sit I tend to him it when I go from the gas to the brake.

If you want to know how well you fit ... sit in a Camaro then go sit in a Mustang ... I drove a Pony Package Mustang last week and the car feels like they made it just for me .. seat was not all the way back..telescoping wheel would be nice , but you would not miss it unless you have had one ...
