Default Am i too tall?

i have fallen in love with these new 5.0 Mustangs and have really been considering buying one, but my only question is. Am i too tall? im 6'7 and worry about the leg room that i might have.

Any other taller guys have any problems with leg room? or is it pretty spacey?

I'm 6'5 and I don't have any problems. Just slide the seat back, lower it and you're golden.

I would go down to a dealer and check it out for yourself versus trusting someon elses interpretation of comfort or fit. Everyone is different and what is comfortable for them or you may not be comfortable for everyone else.

But if that still doesn't satisfy you, my ex and her attorney are good at chopping you off at the knees...

Damn right you're too tall!!!
Freaking mutant!
What was your first clue??

In all seriousness, I believe with the seat all the way back, you should fit OK.
An automatic is always best suited for tall fellows like yourself if it's an option you would want to consider.
Also, no long key chain for you... it will drag on your knee and bug you.

A test drive is in order for sure before purchase.

And welcome to the Forums.
