Default Very tall driver - sedan or coupe?

I'm looking at a 2005 Accord for a tall person (6'5"). While he fit into a sedan, it was tight. Would he have more room in a coupe? He's away at college so it's hard to find time for him to sit in all these cars! Thanks for your ideas.

I'm sorry, but I think that the honest answer is a no.

I am 6'2" and 200#. The way that I like to drive, I do not have enough head room to put a helmet on.

If he drives in one of those short-leg, long-arm Italian positions, then it might work out. :-)

That's what I was afraid of. It seems like the only sedan he fits in is a Passat, and my mechanic won't speak to me again if I buy one. LOL.

Legs room shouldn't be an issue in either. I drove my friends 6-6 Cpe and felt a little cramped in the head area. You wear a helmet when you drive?
