Jeff, if I can fit (and I can), you should have no problem. Just don't
order the sunroof. With it, headroom/helmet room is very tight if your
torso height is similar to mine. Without it, I have helmet clearance.
As for "girth allowance", you, ("Eat! Eat! You're too skinny!) have nothing
at all to worry about. Again, I fit without trouble. And I'll note for
the record (okay, for the records of those Netters who have yet to meet me
in person) that I'm somewhat larger than the average bear at 6'4", 256 lbs
(this morning's Official Weight), size 13 shoe.
Tried 'em on for size at the North American International Auto Show,

PS: While we're on the subject of interior fit for the Big & Tall
shoppers, the Audi TT coupe's outward vision may feel like you're driving a
Karmann Ghia with a 3" top chop (and remember to duck under the roof rail
when getting in and out!), but it's the only car I've driven in recent
memory that I had to move the seat FORWARD of its rearmost position to
drive without stretching my toes out to fully depress the clutch and
throttle.
