I'm 6'1" and the hair touching the headliner is exactly why I can't have one with a sunroof.

You're kidding, right?

I'm only 5'7" so this is sort of a big car for me, well... compared to the Miata I've been used to driving anyway, LOL. I wanted the sunroof... since I will sorta miss the option of having the convertible, but I opted without since it would interfere with the new striping on the TF package...

6'2" Seat all the way down and almost all the way back with plenty of room in my reverse mohawk. Sunroof model was too close for me, even with the seat all the way back. IMO opinion only, the roof looks better too.

Nope. Just curious.

I'm about 5'11" and have a ton of room with the seat all the way down...but comfortably seeing over the hood requires me to lift it up a hair.

Get a 'vert.

/thread.

lol, just thought i'd throw that in there.. I'm 5' 10", so i fit just fine top up or down :P

It all depends on where your height is. If it's in your torso sunroof will be really tight more than likely. If you're a long legged individual then you might have a shot at a sunroof. Like has already been said try them both on for size. I guess that these cars are like a $30,000 to $40,000 pair of reeeaaally nice jeans.

Good luck

@ nearly 6'6" the few hairs left on my head are with-in a inch or so of the sunroof..........and I have no problems seeing over the hood with the seat all the way down. Mathematicaaly divided , from my hips to the bottom of my feet, and from my hips to the top of my scalp, Its all equal...........I would'nt own the car with-out the sunroof...... :-)

kiteman · 09-08-2011, 07:56 PM

i come from the ls1 days with the t-tops, so a sunroof is kind of a cheap imitation IMO and i don't really care for it that much. that being said, it just so happens a dealer has exactly the car i want, but with the sunroof. figured i could live with it if height wise it was okay. i'm pretty sure it's not going to be okay, based on what i have read here.

M_Knife_Shamylan · 09-08-2011, 11:55 PM

The way I saw it, it's a Camaro. It needs T-Tops, not a sunroof. Solid roof coupe all the way for me.

enyce0387 · 09-09-2011, 12:22 AM

6'3" here no go on the sunroof my head kept brushing the edge of the sunroof opening... even with a nice lean... forget about wearing a fitted

I hear ya. I had to order mine to get what i wanted without a sunroof. The dealers around here prefer to stock sunroof cars.

Dasche · 09-09-2011, 10:56 AM

I'm a fidget at 5"9 and was uncomfortable w/the sunroof LOL... but I gotta have an open air option... so I got the convertible which seems to have even more clearance when the top is closed... GET A CONVERTIBLE!

BlackArmor · 09-11-2011, 04:30 AM

I am 6'4 and have no issues getting in and out of the car (with sunroof). I might be just as aforestated, where your height lies, mine being im taller legs wise. Also im sure postrue when seated might adjust how far your head is from the ceiling, as I have about 1.5in of space.

Devon · 09-11-2011, 11:40 AM

6'6", sunroof, seat all the way down and tilted back some and I got room. But I like to sit tilted back some anyways so it works out perfectly.
