I'm just 6ft with 32in inside leg. With my performance seats in 2015 coupe I could do with a bit more legroom. To get the seat as far back as possible, I have to compromise on having the seat back a bit more upright than I like. (Also could do with the steering wheel a bit closer.)
There's loads of space beyond the pedals, I often wonder if the pedal arms could be changed for more legroom.
If you are 6ft4 you really should try before you buy or be prepared to compromise on ideal legroom. Let us know how you get on.
Too Tall To Drive
I have performance seats in MY20 convertible and am 6’ 2” with 34”inside leg. No problem for me and the seat is not fully down and at least 1.5” from fully back.
If they guarantee a returnable deposit then you don’t have anything lose and the car won’t get bought by someone else. Most people buying used have to compromise on spec so if you’ve found the ideal spec you’ve done well. Good luck

Just a thought and I don’t know if it’s possible but worth checking to see if it’s possible to fit the newer thinner seats into an older model car? Could make all the difference. I’d be surprised if they changed the mounting points. Others on this forum may be able to advise.
Thank gawd I'm only 5'6''...just have to tie a couple of wooden blocks to my feet to reach the pedals

Being tall is great until you call a dealership and have to ask to check fit for driving and they think you just want to drive without buying. Only 24 so buying my Jaaaaaag young.

6' tall 32 inside leg and standard seat in MY18 convertible needs to be as far back as possible. I'd be wary

Well the deposit down can be refunded if I don’t fit etc. So it’s alright, just have to hope!
