I'm 6ft and have the chair half way back on the runners, with the back of the chair flexed back a little
Its fine to me, it's the damn footwell that annoys me sometimes, more of a thing about big feet though

if your legs are that long, you might be better off taking the front seat out & sitting on the back seat.

just had the seat out and it looks quite easy to drill some new holes in the runners
my last car was a corrado so it might just be me being used to a better driving position tbh, its mainly my clutch leg that's cramped
