According to your profile it appears you went ahead with the purchase. You had to adjust what you were accustomed to to drive this car. I can fully relate to that. I am 5'10" and also needed to make adjustments. I have big feet and sometimes my toe scrapes the trim when I move from the gas to brake pedal. I need to adjust my heel position about a half inch. I rent a lot and it's the same thing every time I sit in an unfamiliar vehicle. I need to adjust some things before I drive off of the lot, and quite often my driving habits need to be adjusted rather quickly as soon as I hit the highway. When the agent tells me they have an HHR or PT Cruiser for me I politely decline because I personally do not feel comfortable driving them.
Please don't take this personal, but the point I am trying to make is that not every car on the market will accommodate everyones physical frame. When I sit in an old VW Beetle, I get a feeling of claustrophobia. I love the car but it's not something I could get used to so I will never own one.
We all have to make our decisions in life. Before I purchased my Camaro the main question I asked myself was, "Will I have any buyer's" remorse?" When I answered with "No" I made my decision and still have no regrets.
