6'5" with 36" inseam, 200 pounds, and size 14 shoes. My current cars:
2000 BMW M-Coupe with sunroof. Head room is tight but manageable. Removed the foam behind the drivers seat under the carpet to allow additional seat travel. Leg room is good, feels roomy for the legs, relatively speaking for a small car. Seat is on the floor thus not much support for the upper legs. But overall not a major issue even for longer trips.
2011 F-250. Absolutely, most comfortable seating position I can remember for a car/truck I have ever owned! Spent almost 11 hours in the seat on a recent road trip and felt great. Really nice seating position for my body frame.
Factory Five Cobra. Extremely tight for knee room and legroom. Not necessarily comfortable driving more than 30 minutes or so. But the fun factor when driving makes you quickly forget any seating discomfort. Requires gymnastics to enter and exit. Plan to swap the kit seats with vintage Kirkey's with thinner seat backs.
Now that you say it... my dad's F250 is quite comfortable.

VW's - I know this board hates them, but they fit big guys well. I am 6'4" and about 330 and I drive a Golf.
i'm 6'4 and over 300# with long legs... (i mention the weight becuse a lot of it is in my ass therefore my legs seem even longer I suppose)
my b5 passat was prob the bet fitting car I've ever been in... I even had the seat up one notch from the very back because of clutch pedal... no headroom issue even with the sunroof...
on a side note... I've seen a page online that talked about how great the honda element is for tall guys... as I recall he made me look short (6'7 or so)

Scion xB has a surprising amount of room for a compact car.
A colleague of mine is an inch taller than you and bought a first gen xB, into which he got himself, his 6 foot wife and his two 6'8" sons on a regular basis. We called it the Tardis, because it was larger inside than outside. Hard to beat a box for space.
This prompted another colleague to buy a 2nd gen xB, which is known as the XBox.
I test drove one when new... I was impressed with the room up front... and found that the back seat had even more room...
