I'm 6'4 and I need the seat all the way back. My head frequently touches the roof. It's aggrivating, sometimes, but honestly most all cars are like that, for me. Civics have more room than many larger cars, like Mustangs, etc. Overall, I'm happy with my civic.

But I do notice I'm the tallest one at the meets

I have a friend who is 6'9" and he always whining about how he doesn't fit comfortably into any cars. One day I took him for a ride in the 'Vic (coupe) and he went, "Oh my god, I can fit in your car!". He drives a Jetta, go figure.

When I was at the dealership picking mine up I took the opportunity to sit in the S-2000 they had in the showroom. I think 6'2" is just about as tall as you can be and still drive that sucker. Comfy, though!

Well, I am 6'5" and under normal circumstances I have no problem. There is no back seat room in my coup. I have a couple of knots on my head though. My 5'6" and 5'7" parents move my car so that they can get out, they pull the seat all the way up. So when I get in the chair is in the way and I hit my head about every other day.

Does your car have a moonroof? Usually if the car has a moonroof you end up loosing about 2-3 inches of headroom.

6'1" and built like john goodman... seat is all the way back and tilted 3-4 clicks.. steering wheel is all the way up...

no problem at all as far as headroom goes... however my legs dont fit at all.. the steering wheel is always in the way.. theres maybe .3 inches of clearance between the wheel and my legs...

I'm five foot five. I'm also a chick. No problems banging my head, unless my visor is down and I'm getting in, that's when the guardian angel visor clip my mom makes me and my younger brother keep in our cars hits me in the head and that thing is sharp! It always takes a little chunk of hair out when I hit it.

6'1" and have no problems. Seat is all the way back and reclined just a little.

I do wish it went back farther though
