I am 6' and 240 lbs and don't have a problem with the standard seat set up in my car. I don't think this was mentioned before, but when you try out the differnt cars, wear a pair of Piloti's or other racing shoe. My son and I both have wide feet and almost always drive our cars with racing shoes on. Even tennis shoes can be a problem and give you the feeling that you are not fitting or sitting in the car correctly.
Agree with you about the right shoes. I wear a 13M and I can't drive my car with regular cross trainer tennis shoes. Plenty of room wearing racing shoes or narrow flat shoes like Puma's.
