6'4" here. My height is mostly in my torso (38" inseam) and I drive a 2017 Mini Cooper and have been driving Minis since I started driving. I don't fit in most compacts but do fit comfortably there. So, yeah, still not a great reason to be driving oversized cars.

To be clear, 38" inseam means fully half of your height is in your legs (6'4" is 76"). By comparison, I wear 36" inseam and the bottom of my pants tuck under my heel when I'm not in shoes. So I think my torso has a few inches on yours.

Regardless though, I have not driven an exhaustive list of small cars. I have never tried a Mini Cooper. Maybe I would fit fine, idk. I just said that I have tried to drive a variety of rental cars and have yet to find one that fits me. I fit just fine in my Sienna.
