Simple question really. Toying with the idea of a ZL1 when they're released.

I've heard in a flippant comment, and on a youtube review that the low roofline makes them useless for tall folks. I've been in one but I can't remember having problems with it. At 6'3 will I be scraping the head lining do you think?

I'll be in the US again next month, and intend to try one on for size, but I don't want to get my hopes up, basically hehe

It depends on how you get in and out. You have to dive in. When you get out you need to fold up like a lawn chair or you hit your head. I'm 6'.

Inside, a sunroof car will have a lower headliner, (totally different roof), and power seats will adjust lower than standard non-powered.

Good luck!

I'm 6" 4 and have driven both a v6 and a v8 in the us for thousands of miles. The v6 had a sunroof - I could drive it fine but wasn't the best. The v8 didn't, was far, far better. Without the roof the driving position, roof etc are all fine. Don't expect to get anything large in the trunk - our suitcase had to go on the back seat for 2 weeks....

Thanks again guys, appreciate it.

If I get one it'll be for fun stuff, so I don't envisage needing boot space.

If you don't have a sunroof you'll be fine. The sunroof is not the greatest as it removes the creases from the roof panel and robs far too much interior headroom.
