Default How's the fit?

How is the leg room in the 07s? I owned a 2000 GT, and at 6'3" I just fit. I am hoping to purchase a new GT shortly and see this as the only sticking point. I know I could just test drive one, but I wanted to see what other's long term opinions were regarding cabin room.

From what i've read it has more room than other mustangs. I sat in a friends 2000 mustang, but don't remember how much room it had. I'm 6 feet and have plenty of room. With the seat all the way back I almost have trouble pushing the clutch pedal all the way down.

By the way i have atleast 5 inchs of clearance between the headliner and the top of my head with the seat all the way down, so you should be fine with head clearance.

Im 6-4 220 lbs. I fit fine... the car sits a little low, hurts my old man knees, but no complaints by any means. My buddy had a 98 vert, I hated that f-ing car, i could barely fit in it at all. But the 05+ are great for leg room.

much better than the previous body style...plenty of seat travel and headroom, and it doesn't feel like the door is pushing into my shoulder

The 05 is definitely wider and provides more head and leg room then earlier models. My friend's 2002 is a tight fit in comparison.

I'm 6'6" 275 lbs and this is the first Mustang I can actually fit in. I drove a T-Bird for 9 years until I traded it in for my 2007 GT. There's not much of a backseat, but plenty of room up front!
