There are two cars that I know of that offer the kind of leg room
that you obviously need:
 
1.  OMNI/HORIZON - amazing you say, for a small car.  One of our
    faculty here is taller than you, and has the same problem that
    you do with cars.  He has two of these cars.
 
2.  VOLVO - The drivers seat has much more range than the passenger
    seat, so don't judge by just riding in one.  Also, when the seat
    is mounted on the track at the factory, it is located using a
    set of holes so that extremely short drivers can drive the car.
    (My 8 year old can reach the clutch and brake now.)  There is
    another set of holes that allow the seat to be mounted further
    back on the track.  The sets of holes are about 1 1/2 inches (4cm)
    apart, you need every inch you can get.  The seat bottom tilts
    and the back reclines and you can adjust the amount of lumbar
    support.
