word of advice: sit in one with a sunroof and one that doesn't have a sunroof.
the sunroof eats up about an inch of head room and depending on your body type, that 1 inch could make a difference.
I'm over 6'5, have a sunroof, and still fit.
My seat is as far down and back as possible and with a bit more of a recline then I have in my other car but I'm still comfortable.
good luck.
P.S. next time you start a thread, you really should add a more specific title.

I am 6'4" and have no issues with my non sunroof model. Sat in one with sunroof before I bought, felt tight to me. But have a friend taller than me that has one with sunroof. His only complaint is when he wears his helmet at track days.

^Yeah, I'm 6' or so with sunroof, and it's a bitch to get in proper racing position with the helmet, but on the street you can lower the back and look like you're racing.
The car is definitely Asian size.

I'm 6' 11", 260lbs and I fit in my RX8 just fine. My knees do lay up against the dash, and I do have to keep my head tilted at about 45 degrees to the left or right, but other than that, it's great... well, I can't drive it more than about 10 minutes, but that's okay. I sure do love the RX8.
Hmph. In retrospect, I guess I should have actually sat in one first before asking nice folks on a car forum whether or not I'll have a problem fitting.
I dunked on Dirk Nowitski the other night, too.

You really need to try one on for size. Two, actually: a base model with no sunroof and cloth seats, and a GT or better with leather adjustable seats and a sunroof.
There are a number of threads on this topic. Fit depends on your proportions, not just height. I'm six feet, and the fit is just right, but someone with longer legs and shorter arms (or shorter legs and longer arms) might not be as comfy. I'm also around 240 pounds, and the seat (cloth) would be a bit less tight if I took off 20 pounds.
