I don't fit in the Camry or Avalon, but do fit in the Impala, Malibu, Lucerne and LaCrosse. My head hits the ceiling of the Avalon and Camry.

Any car with a sunroof should do.

I'm 6'2". I haven't found very many cars I can DRIVE comfortably, RIDE, yes but not drive. I hear about all these cars tall people say they can fit comfortably in, and for some reason, I CANT. I can ride and drive my wifes 06 LeCrosse, biut after driving for more than 20 minutes I get claustrophobic, which I am anyways. I'm OK in my sons Ranger, but I cant get comfortable. A Camry, an Optima, an Altima, FORGET IT. I'm not even going to try. In order for me to be 100% comfortable while I drive, I drive a full size Chevrolet truck, and I can drive our Enclave without problems.

I'm 6'7 and own a '15 Kia Forte5 that I don't even have to slide the seat all the way back in. Lots of room.

Others that have worked for me were a '10 Mini Cooper, '10 GTI, '07 Legacy, '02 RSX, and '00 Celica.

Ironically I don't fit very well in large cars. They tend to give more leg room priority to the rear. Though they do make seat bracket extenders that will give you a couple extra inches.
Extens my seat

I would suggest going to a car show or a Carmax and sitting in a bunch of cars.

OP, same heigh there. 6'4"" and 1/4. Very broafd shouldered.
I fit very well into Camry, 07, but head room could have been a bit more. Otherwise, I am happy everywhere else.
I also fit even better into 12 Highlander. That is by far the most beloved car ever.

I have one, I wouldn't be surprised. The only thing I'd wonder about that is the width, the console is pretty wide. Proabaly not a whole lot of rooms to move his legs around. You can fit four really big guys in it comfortably.
