ok you guys are gonna laugh at me but we sacrifice for what we want right? I traded in my 2010 370 coupe for my roadster and first thing i noticed was that i wouldnt fit. 6'5 here. my right knee wasnt working out and i just cant sit up at a near 90 degree angle which is what it felt like reclined all the way. since id come from a coupe and had no problems at all i looked around so see the difference and it was clearly the headrest hitting the rear thing behind. so...... i popped out the headrest. dealer dude looked at me like i was crazy. got about 6 or more inches of recline and now perfect fit.. again.

i did the passenger seat too since a lot of my friends are my size and my girl is 6'2.. and also just to make it look even. ive had well over 10 people in the car and only one has asked.. um doesnt this car come with headrests? and he is 5'1. i told him to grow up.

its prob not for everyone, but if you find it super uncomfortable and need more inches.. try it out. the remainer of the seat fits PERFECT in the space behind and i actually think the interior looks cleaner with the top down.

ddanis60, you really wanted a roadster didn't you? I'm 6'5 as well and couldn't fit in the roadster. Glad you made it work somehow :tup:

I‘d love to see some pics of that ddanis. Clearly you‘re a baller :)

I have to try the no headrest....


I'm 6'1 and I fit in the car fine. What I do for longer roadtrips is that I take my shoes off and I can stretch my legs behind the pedals to get extra comfortable. I had to do the same in my S2000, but this car is way better room-wise.

I think I have a pic on my pc at home I'll upload. If not then I'll take one tomorrow. Fo
Sho. Would be cool if I stumbled upon something cool to help all tall people out ;)

I hadnt took out the passenger one yet obviously and the drivers is only half reclined into the cavity. plus its not a very good pic but you get the idea

sarmyth 04-21-2011 03:44 PM

Ah i see...on the touring model their are "winglets" for lack of a better word which surround the headrest which prevents your trick from working... I was a bit confused before.

jazz 04-22-2011 11:43 AM

yes....i cant do that or even try it due to the seats that are in my 370...i am feeling way better in it anyways!

Headroom
 
Headroom was a major concern for me also. I'm 6' even, and without dropping the driver seat all the way down/back, I still have a good 4" or so before I hit the roof.

jazz 04-27-2011 02:29 PM

when i first started driving it...i was like i feel like i sit too upright...it was never about the headroom for me.
