What year is it?

I have an `89 (4th Gen) and a `90 (5th Gen) and I fit in both of them fine. Neither seat is slid all the way back. I am 6' as well

Well... To tall?.. umm no I don't think so..

I'm 5'11" and even though this is the first celica I have ever owned.. I don't seem to have an issue sitting in it as of yet...

The last little car I owned for over 20 years was my 300 YYZ below.. bought it new off the floor in 1992 (and yes its its a TT.. hell who wants a NA car anyway)... and then added $10,000.00 of fun headaches spanning nearly beyond 2 'loving every minute of it' decades.
I love every minute of owning any dream...

But what do I know.. I'm only a 47 year old kid...

I'm 6'1" and dont have any issues in my 92 GT. With the bottom part of the seat adjusted all the way up and the back of the seat at a near verticle angle my head is close to the roof I guess. But its not even near comfortable in the position so you'll be fine

1990-1991 celica's are a little harder to fit in. Toyota improved head-room in the cars after.
