Sky light roof - internal head room

FWH · 4th June 2007, 11:23

Hi,

Where I live, cars with sat nav also come with the "sky light roof".
I don´t mind this, but I am curious about the internal headroom with this option as I am quite tall.

The Honda documentation I have does not show the internal headroom with / without.

Unfortuntaly I have also not been able to find a dealer with a car with this option (yet).

Does anyone know how this option affects interanl headroom?

I have the glass roof and have never experienced any problems. It does reduce slightly but not by much. Is there one at a dealer you can sit and find out for sure? The seat does allow for a good amoount of travel, which helps.

So how much headroom would you say you have to spare?

I'm 6'3", I didn't sit in a Type S with a glass roof when I ordered the car (should have it in a month) as I didn't think there would be a problem with headroom

But you do fit in it still?

Found one at a dealer today.
The head room was no problem, even in the rear (even though it was marginal for me there). I´m aprox 185cm (whatever that is in feet..)

My brother is 6'4 and didnt have a problem when he sat in my civic with glass roof, with blinds closed or open, and he has major troubles in most cars

Good to hear Obo

I've since remembered that I did actually sit in a civic with a glass roof after all

It was just the first time I popped in to te dealers to have a look around.
