Cruise Control is a must for us tall people. The gas pedal angle will kill you in long rides.
65,000 miles in the last 5 years was only possible with it

Ps. My son is 6'6" or more . I will eventually move the foot well forward 5"...no battery or AC in the way on drivers side. Once that is done, we will work on pedals. The extra room will allow the legs to lay flat on seat instead of splayed out.

Someone help me
You must be talking about an automatic transmission... because how can you drive a 3/4 speed with 1 leg??? I'm 6'4 and can't drive my C1 (4 speed) because I can't get my foot to reach the clutch
I have a coupe, and I am 6-3". I'm long legged and fit fine. The only issue I have is on long drives. The steering wheel is between my knees and my legs are confined to the outside of the steering wheel, no way for me to stretch my legs in any regards. I actually got a blister on the back of my heal of my gas pedal foot driving to Arizona.
On the way home on the interstate I had an epiphany. I put my right leg in the passenger foot well, and used my left for the throttle.

Getting in and out is another story, the tilt wheel on the 70 makes life much easier, thinking about going with a smaller steering wheel on the 67.

I say convertible. I'm 6'0 300lbs and it's just more overall room. But try them both out, and see what you think is right for you. You can definitely maker adjustments with seats, steering wheel size, and maybe a telescopic sterring columns?
