You people have not experienced 'cramped'.
We were 5 people in a Nissan Micra. Two of us are 6'3" and the rest were 5'8" to ~6'.
Damn crowded.

I think a big american boat will suit your needs.

6'9" have a '93 ford taurus that i fit really well in. have driven this for years. drove a... '96 altima, fit alright, but the steering wheel had to be in a weird position. other than that... buick regal from the mid 90's was roomy. drive a '99 saturn sometimes, fit but not comfortably at all. mostly big cars for my family in the past, bro drives SUV's explorer or Gr cherokee, dad always had 'old person cars' ie. caddys or such. strangely enough, my other bro, (all 4 of us are 6'9") has had a ford tempo that he loves. it's a tight squeeze but he's comfy in it so whatever works. mom has a grand marquis, of course i fit in that boat of a car. pretty much need a big car/ truck/ suv or at least an expensive car that's roomy. seat all the way back, tilted back, steering wheel up. now getting in and out of cars, or riding shotgun in a friends car, these are not fun at all. we won't even get into tryin to ride backseat....

PS I most CERTAINLY know cramped. try going anywhere as a family when 4 males are 6'9" and the mother is 6'0" and we ain't talkin minivan here either.

I'm 6'3" drive a mid-80s two-door Volkswagen Golf hatchback, seat back to the 2nd from last position, and I'm cool. Plenty of room for me.

My festiva actually has a lot of headroom.

I'm 6'2", I'm getting a truck (maybe). I took the radio station minivan yesterday. It's a van, so I thought it would be roomy. Nope. It's designed for the soccer moms. My knees were still by the steering wheel even with the seat all the way back.

Like I said, I'm just going to get a truck.

Get an old 80's Cadillac.. now that's legroom LOL

my mercedes maybach has plenty of legroom for me.

I'm about 6'6" tall and fit into my VW Golf mk2 nicely. It's also one of the few small-size cars where I can normally sit on the rear seat (eg. shoulders aren't in the ceiling). There's more-less enough room in almost every car's front seats, just getting into driver's seat is rather problematic sometimes ( involves bending legs into abnormal positions to get them above steering wheel

You guys have to remember that it's not just your height... it's your torso and leg length. Some guys have longer legs, which means leg room is more important. Some guys have longer torsos, which means headroom is the key.
