Your heights are a smidgen taller than me and CP, but the proportion's the same -- height-wise, that is, but I have very long legs (my jeans have a 86cm inseam) such that our leg-length is the same, but CP has a longer torso, which means head-room is an issue for him but not for me. We can both handle the Honda okay, ignoring the compression/angle issues which have nothing to do with height/length -- and the Veedub worked for both of us, as well.
Volvo, not so much, because (per reply to Sharibet, above) the pedals are so far into the engine compartment that getting my feet within range meant the steering wheel was literally in my lap. ...What other suggestions? Hmm, there's a VW that's available only in Europe that's like a station-wagon-ized version of the Golf, and it was an awesome drive with a huge amount of cargo space. But it didn't feel like a station wagon, when I drove it -- it drove like my little Golf, all spunk and spitfire and zip, not like some stodgy family-wagon. Man, I wanted one, so bad, and every VW dealer keeps saying the same thing: "VW doesn't intend to make an American version of that car." Me: WHY NOT I WANT ONE. *sigh*
Other than that, I'd say a nice 911T ought to do you fine, but I suppose that's kinda on the impractical side, eh. Maybe if you plan ahead and get one for your mid-life crisis?
