Anybody else think headroom is tight?????

Hey guys, just went to the Infiniti dealership Saturday with the intent of putting a deposit down on a coupe. I sat down inside and could not find a single position where my head did not touch the headliner. Yes, the seat was fully lowered and I even reclined it more than usual. Is there some hidden adjustment like on the seat tracks or such. Please tell me there is something I can do to fit in this car. I sat inside an FX45 and noticed about 3-4 inches of room above my head. BTW, I am about 6' so not out of the normal size range. If you know of any tricks, please let me know. Thanks guys!!

Re: Anybody else think headroom is tight?????

i'm 5'7 and find it comfortable (neve rfocused on the head room). the one thing i can tell you is that there is 0 headroom in the back- sitting in the back once, my head was smashed up against the windshield....and i'm 3'' below average height

im 6' and i fit fine.....maybe you can try to get the coupe without a sunroof.....that will give you about an inch more head room.....try moving the seat Down, the buttons should all be there on the seat man.....good luck

5"8.5' here I fit fine in my non sunroof coupe. In the rear like mentioned I would have to duck my head. In my old sedan with sunroof I would raise my seat some so i could see the right front corner of the car and at that height I was rather close to the top.

Yea I didn't think that headroom was tight in the front (but then again I'm only 5'10" [img]/w3timages/icons/blush.gif[/img] ). But the backseat headroom is definitely pretty tight.

I am 6'0" and i have plenty of room. I had a Mazda MX6 back in 1995-1997 and that car had NO headroom... the G has plenty. Are you reclining the seat at all?

I'm 6'2" and it's tight (the headroom). I have about 1/4" of close-cropped hair on my head and it scrapes the roof quite regularly. I find that opening the sunshade helps a bit.

Ah, well - I have so much fun in the car that I really don't notice..

Re: Anybody else think headroom is tight?????

ok everyone keeps saying they are 5'8" and they fit fine! no $hit you fit fine! ok sorry for that i just thought it was funny because i am 6'4" and i fit fine, i have a long torso with a 34" inseam, although my hair does brush the ceiling in the morning when i lean my head back, but i just got used to it, i love the car too much to let that be the desiding factor.

Re: Anybody else think headroom is tight?????

yea... my boyfriend didn't agree w/ sitting in the back, so he says that it gives him a reason to always sit in the front. he's 6 ft. and didn't have a problem with the headroom in the front. neither did i considering i have plenty of room. hahaha i'm only 5'1!!!! lolz
