The Altima sedans seem well laid out for tall drivers. One reason is the steering wheel has a lot of telescope travel, maybe twice what you get in many other cars including Prius, Accord and Camry. Altima driver's seat scoots far back and goes quite low. I can get a seat position I really like in Altima. Seat foam seemed a little smushy in back seat to me though.

I had a 6'-6" friend 30 years ago who swore by the Nissan 240SX for front leg room.

No doubt there are tendencies for certain car makes to favor certain builds.

I believe airbag certification makes this more difficult (accommodating diverse sizes) as the steering wheel to chest dimension can be critical. Whoever works it out the best probably scores more buyers.
