I've been told by a Fiat dealer that I will struggle to get comfortable in a 500 with a sunroof (I'm looking at a 1.4 Lounge / Sport with roof).

I'm 6'3" and don't have long legs or a long upper body - pretty much 50/50.

My local dealer had a car I could sit in without a sunroof but not with a sunroof - any thoughts on whether I'd find the car a struggle to get comfortable in?

Any tall drivers on here?

I would defo try it out first. My hubbie has long legs but shorter body and is 6ft1 and has loads of headroom ..... my dad is also 6ft1 but is the opposite and when he was in the car with me recently his head was almost touching the glass roof.

Surely if they want a sale they can find one to show you? If not, go to another dealer to look .... or maybe you are near to someone on here who has a sun roof - don't know where you are in the country!

hope that helps (probably not!)

and Welcome to the Forum

oh yeah and you can pump the seat down too - just a thought. (although does leave a sort of gap at the back of the seat and the cool air gets in - be nice in the summer though lol)

Thanks Heidi

I did pump the seat down but was still 'a hair cut' away from touching the roof (and that was without a sunroof)

I think I may be just too tall for this little gem of a car.

As for finding one to sit in, my neigbour has one but he is away for Christmas - so will have to wait until he returns as the dealer near me isn't much help.

I'm 6,3" and I found in the old lounge Demo my head would constantly skiff the ceiling in the car. There where no problems at all in the Demo Sport though.

iam 6"4" and fit in me sport ok but have no sunroof

Hi
I'm 6, 2" and tried both out before we went for the Sport (no sunroof). The lounge demo was so close to my head and really made it feel tight, as if I felt I had to lean forward all the time, not what I wanted really!

But honest - no probs at all in the 1.4 sport!

Im 6 3" and have no probs in my Lounge with glass roof, I did try one with a sunroof and occasionaly my hair did skim it.

Im 6 2" and I have no problem what so ever fitting in my 500

I'm 6 1" and did not fit in anything with a sunroof.

I have a very long body and almost no legs With the bouncy ride I constantly bashed my head on the sunroof in a lounge. So I got a Sport which is the only model here you can get without one.

I always find it funny that most cars in the UK have a sun roof when you have no sun :chin:

The sunroof here would be painful, the useless blind it comes with does not block the sun. It's going to be 34C here today and the sun banging down on you through one would be very unpleasant.

CJay - where on earth are you?! Assume Oz or NZ? It's -2 here in bournemouth at the moment!

Im 5'8" and strangely I have no probelm with the roof height. Seeing over the dash can be troublesome tho

Yep, I'm in Oz, they need to make the little flags on here larger ;-)

39C Tomorrow they say

Happy new year to you all

I found the lounge a little close to my head and I am 6ft2, sport is okay, took me ages jumping in and out of the 2 cars to decide though. salesman thought I was mad!

my husband is over 6ft and has no problem with our lounge

Both cars I have been offered have the 'Skydome' option - does this eat into the headroom?

I sat in a Lounge yesterday and while it was tight, it was okay; however, this had the fixed roof and not the electric one.

The fixed roof does take a little head room away, though I do believe the electric roof takes even more.
