How much headroom do you have?

Hi, sorry for the dumb question. But, I have not had the chance to test drive a CL Type-S yet. Before I go out to, I was wondering how much headroom there is. I'm about 6'4" and was wondering if I am going to be comfortable driving one. I love the car and can't say I have heard anything bad about it. Thanks for letting me know.

6'1" here too.

Not too bad. I scrape my head sometimes when I sit up.

But I gets my pimp lean on so I raise my seat all the way up.

6'2" here, and I noticed the headroom issue on my first CL ('01 Type-S). However, within a short time the seat cushion seemed to relax enough so that there was no issue. Had to screw with the seat position, as well.

2nd CL ('03 6MT) didn't exhibit any problem, and I knew it'd be fine in a short time even if it did.

I felt like I was going to hit my head when I was driving the G35, but in the CL I have no problems, and if I need to I can always open the moon roof...

i find it hard to believe that 5'11" is plenty of room and 6'0" is just fit

especially at 6'5" with no problems...

I think it all depends on where the seat is positioned and how far back its reclined.

I would kill for a telescoping wheel. Makes for a difficult task in setting up on the wheel for me. Took a while, but I finally found a comfortable seating position in relation to the roof and wheel, but which is a bit tight on the legs (I'm longer legs as opposed to torso).

Not too much. I feel like my hair scrapes the top.

One thing is for sure, deffiantly as not much headroom as my Camaro had.

Yep... can feel my hair touch the headliner sometimes. Opening up the moonroof helps.

How low down in the seat do you sit?
