You should have gotten the sunroof. People are talking about the sunroof like it's the difference between life and death when you're driving the new Camaro. I wouldn't make my purchase based on the advice or inexperience of these knuckleheads on here.

That would be a pain. Do you have the steering wheel adjusted properly? Make sure you have it pulled towards you all the way.

I'm 5' 7" too, and the car is a great fit!

Well I'm sure people are fudging some numbers here with the pole results. And the poll is just fine to settle my curiosity. It just seems that every time I see a picture of anyone sitting in their Camaro, they've got the seat moved at least half-way up... and standing next to it, they're barely as tall as the Camaro.

As it is (for myself) at 6', when I'm driving I have my legs comfortably extended in front of me with the seat all the way down and back, and my arm comfortably extended in front of me with the wheel down and pushed in all the way.

But when I get out, I have to duck my head.

Why, specifically, would you want to raise the passenger seat?

And another question for a shorter person - Why do so many shorter people slide the passenger seat so far forward? I enjoy leg room, don't you?

Oh yeah, and I'm not seeing these blind spots that people have either. The mirrors work wonderfully. Just make sure that you don't have anyone right next to you before you change lanes. I have a buddy at work who rolled his far a few times on the 405 last week when someone smacked into him from the side, changing lanes.

Sure - we just don't need much. We also like to rest our feet on the vertical slope at the back of the footwell (not sure what it's called), plus if there's someone in the back seat, we're happy to give them the legroom we don't need.

No problem with blind spots here, either.

Can you fit kids in the back seat? haha The back of my driver seat is rested against the front of the rear passenger seat. And I keep my front passenger seat all the way back and slightly reclined.

I love the nice leg and head room of the power seats in the 2SS Camaro. These seats are really comfortable! The Ford Folks haven't figured out that more leg and head room are needed in the Mustang. I would choose a Chevy anyway!!

This poll has more than 50% of the people.....6ft or taller.....I'm 6"4". Don't get a sun roof if you are tall. Americans are taller than most of the people in other countries!

BS. 6'7" with sunroof, NO problems!! Mabye my ass is flatter than most or something...

[JWood]

6'5" Took me several days to find one without a sunroof to see if I would fit, but it was OK.

[wullger]

The sunroof issue has been beaten to death All depends on how much of a torso/leg ratio you have going! I'm 6'3" and wouldn't have been able to drive a car with the sunroof comfortably, but I have an oddly tall torso. Your mileage can and will vary

Lightning you just got a flat head and no torso!

[McDee]

I'm 6'4", and have only had the chance to sit in the Camaros. There's no way I could fit comfortably with a sunroof, but I have no problems once I get in to one without it.

Has anyone else had trouble just getting your legs in and out of the car? I've had the steering wheel all the way up, but it's still somewhat of a chore. I guess I may just need to adjust from driving a pickup for 10 years.
