Any tall people have trouble dirving this thing? - Page 2 - Camaro5 Chevy Camaro Forum / Camaro ZL1, SS and V6 Forums

These headroom/sunroof threads pop up every so often. I'm 6'1" with a sunroof that I wish I did not have. I have my power adjustable seat all the way down. Sure would be nice if I could bring the back of the seat forward enough to sit up more straight. I sometimes like to change the seat position as I drive. I've said it before on here, I am half tempted to take my car to some custom shop to see if they could possible cut some clearance in my headliner above my head. And do a nice job of patching up the cut area so it looks decent. I vision my headliner with an indention area above my head that looks like it came from the factory that way.

My hair brushes the ceiling sometimes, no sunroof.

6'5", my hair brushes it occasionally but otherwise no issues. I tend to lean back a little though. I find it very comfortable.

Keep in mind the telescoping wheel! It can help with a seat leaned back a bit. I'll add that in the 27K plus miles (600 this weekend with the wife and yellow lab), and it is a very comfortable car.

And what stinks about having to put the seat in that position is that it lowers us even more in the car and looking out the windows is even worse. This is the worst car I have ever owned from a visibility viewpoint (pun intended!). Wish I bought a convertible version instead, like my 'Vette.

I almost didn't get it because of the poor visibility. I also don't let anyone else drive it as a result of that same issue [I explain that there's a 'learning curve' and we don't have time for that]. Have gotten used to it with time, and I hardly notice anymore though.

Does anyone test ride cars anymore or just buy and then complain?

Just sayin

7' tall and no problem other than elimination of the back seat. Of course I do not have a sunroof because my head would be regularly rubbing on the roof.

I never had any issue dirving mine. No issues driving it either.

rc610 · 03-16-2015, 12:34 PM

I have a sunroof and only have trouble when reversing and wearing a ball cap. I'm only 6' tho
