I think ~6ft is the limit to be comfortable in a stang. I am 6'0, 195lbs and I keep the seat all the way back, and I fit perfect.

6'1" and i fit fine.

Don't expect anyone to EVER sit behind you. I basically only ever put two people in my car. The only time anyone sits in the back seat is if they are a female since they are the only one that can fit back there now.

FIne with me, as i don't usually carry passengers in my car

Nahh...I'm 6'4" and I still fit in my car. However, sometimes it's not so great because my left knee is always on the armrest, and there isn't much room for my right knee either.

Oh and I really can't fit in an SN95. They actually have less room than a Fox.

I noticed that. The interior in SN95 stangs takes up a lot more space, and in the back seat, my head always hits the rear window of a SN95, but I fit fine in my hatch.

6'3" 250ish and I fit fine in my 84 SVO however I am slightly cramped in my brothers 89 LX. But not enough to be uncomfortable unless on a long trip.

Yeah I am 6'4" too and I have the same problem of my left knee hitting the armrest. Having a size 14 shoe does not help out when trying to shift from the gas to the brake. I like how much room there is in the back with the rear seats laying down, so good choice going with the HB.
