Definitely depends on driving position, as well as the length of the driver's legs, of course, and the tolerance of the driver (and how accomodating they are of the back seat passengers). A lot of people jump in cars like these, shove the front seat all the way back, and say "look, no room in the back seat!".
For autocross or spirited street driving I have my seat up pretty close to the steering wheel. For normal street driving by myself I move the seat farther back, usually all the way back in the Mustang and a few clicks from all the way back in the Mini (I'm 6'1" tall with 33" inseam), but if I have back seat passengers I move the seat up closer to the wheel, sometimes almost up to where my knees almost hit the dash. Not ideal, but not terribly uncomfortable for a few hours, as I'm willing to make concessions for people in the back seat.
