ANYONE ELSE HAVE SEAT ISSUES?
I am 5' 9" tall and whatever I do I am just to close to the headliner! I find myself having to lean over into the sunroof area to get comfortable. Anyone else have this problem? Thanks....

sunroof cars are about 1.5" shorter than non-sunroof cars. i am 6'5" with no sunroof and i have no issues as long as i'm not having a bad hair day...

Play with the seat height?
I'm 5'11" with no sunroof and don't have the seat all the way down and I have to sit completely straight up to hit my head up there.

How far do you put the seat back? I dont think a midget could fit behind me in the rear seat.

I learned the sunroof lesson with my Monte Carlo, I too have to lean the seat back in that thing because my head hits the roof and so I have never really gotten in a comfortable position in that car. I actually tried sitting in a Camaro with a sunroof and thus the same thing happened in that car, so it was a "no brainer" to get one without a sunroof.
I am 6' tall and I have plenty of adjustment in my Camaro and I am really comfortable in it even in several different positions I put the seat in. The only problem I have is after my wife has been driving it, when I get in I have to lower the seat first because she is 5' 2" tall and I cannot even fit in the seat with it adjusted for her height. Maybe you should have at least tried/compared the Camaro with the sunroof to the one without.

I like to sit up as high as possible without touching the roof and i'm 5'8, i have no problem with height, my problem is that im always fiddling around trying to get comfortable and i can't seem to. No problem in any other car with getting comfortable though..

6', tall upper body, and over 250 lbs, and I still fit real nice. I don't think I sit that far back, but no real human being could get in the seat behind me
I've even had a 3-4 inch Mohawk on top and with a little care, I'm still just fine

So hopefully when I do get that Camaro this year, plan is to get a set of custom Wet Okole neoprene seat covers, and an optional lumbar pump they sell that will go between seat and covers.

Thanks all, I had got it for my daughter for graduation (she hated it and is off to college now) so this one is just a winter beater so will deal with it until spring and then dump this load. Oh well live and learn.

I'm 6'4 and the only time I have issues is when I go over a speed bump with the rear wheels too fast and my head hits the roof...>.<
Lumbar adaptability would be awesome. |
