I am 5'11", and have owned six Saabs 900Ts. Never had a seating problem... I find the position quite comfortable and like the extremely short, non-adjusting steering column... I adjust the seat so that when my right leg is mostly extended the clutch is all the way to floor, and then adjust the seatback so my arms are almost fully extended when reaching the top of the steering wheel. Pretty darned reasonable... -Justin
