Default 6foot tall tC owners

I'm 6'2 and I'm awaiting my Classic Silver tC. For those that owe this bad baby and are 6 feet and over, how do you like it? How do you generally sit in your car? Slouch? Sit up straight? Can you put your arm out the window? What's your comfort position?

you can put your arm on the window no problem
but i usually drive with the sunroof cover open so
i get a bit more headroom. This also reduces slouching
i don't like busting a gangster lean.

the tC is not the size of your average coupe. my brother is 6'3" and he has no complaints driving my car around.

We're in the same exact boat...

I'm 6'2" or 6'3". I found myself to have fit fine (from sitting in tCs at the dealer). The driver's seat does have vertical height adjustment, which can help out for an inch or so I believe. I will probably lean the seat back a notch or two as that is the position I am usually comfortable with.

All of you 5'10" people can stop replying, because 4 inches is a huge difference when it comes to the head touching the ceiling of the car.

I am 6'4" and have no problem fitting in the car. The driver’s seat has enough adjustments to make it work. I do have a problem when the roof shades are pulled. I tend to touch the top with my head and especially when I am wearing a ball cap but nothing one more notch back on the seat won't help. I have actually had people laugh at me getting out of the car. They see this tiny little car and me crawling out of it. No regrets!!!!

i think we've about covered enough. but just to add to the others, i'm 6'1" and i fit fine. sitting, slouching, etc. but, when i wear a baseball cap, and don't lean, the visor part of the cap hits my sunvisor on the car. during the test drive, i knocked into it, and detached, all while i was driving down the road at 60mph. scared the crap out of me.

I'm 6'2 and my hair touches the ceiling often. Its a roomy car for a coupe. Only problem is if you want more leg room, you push the chair back and your arms have to be pretty much straight to reach the steering wheel. That can make long drives tiring. Telescopic wheel would of been nice. I did not experience this in other cars. Must be the unique positioning of the tC interior.

Haha you guys crack me up

I sit in all ways but find the seats to be sorta uncomfortable after a while so I shift often. But when Im drinkink something in a bottle and tilt the bottle upwards it usually hits the front part between the windshield and sunroof causing the bottle to ram into my face lol. The seats have decent adjustment though so Im sure you'll find a good seating position.

6'3" and fit fine - one notch back, factory up-down adjustment. Actually, I find that a slight back lean in the tC is right nic, as the controls seem set up for it.

6'5" and the car fits like a glove. I don't have any issues with my head hitting the ceiling at all, with or without the sunshade pulled. I've driven the car on 600mi round trips with no discomfort what-so-ever.

I am 5'11" and I fit just fine. I sit straight, with a bit of slouching for comfort. About the only thing that's not as good as I would want is that if I try to rest my left arm on the window, it's a bit high. Otherwise, plenty of head/leg room for a small car.

It's not as roomy as my Maxima, but if you sit in a lot of cars of this size, it's actually spacious.
