I would recommend one to anyone. I loved mine when I had it, and was a nice reliable car.
The only issues I had were the the rear coolant hose burst, which is a common fault on them. It needed an exhaust manifold change, which again they're common for cracking. It needed a clutch and cambelt as well whilst I had it but on a performance car that's to be expected.
Depending on your budged I'd be trying to find a 6 speed model, a Plus or an LE. They have nicer interiors, 6 speed gearbox and were the last to be built so tend to have lower miles.
Recent cambelt and clutch would be on my wish list, garages and specialists charge a pretty penny to do both as there's not alot of room. I changed both of mine at the same time, pulled the engine out to do it.
For a coupe they're actually quite roomy, I'm 6ft and there was loads of room. I reckon a lanky 6ft 5 person should be alright as well. You'll have to have a sit in one to find out.
