Legroom
I'm tall. I have a C5 convertible which is great in the legroom department. I was sad to see the C6 considerably shorter. (Knees hit the dash shifting). How does the C7 compare?

I went from C5 to C6 to C7. Each move was "snugger". I'm 6'3" and it took a little time and many seat adjustments, but I'm pretty comfortable now.

I think the supposed lack of leg room in the C7 is greatly overblown. I’m 6’ 2” and have plenty of room. I guess if you favor the Italian style of driving with the legs and arms straight out, it may be short on leg room.
My seat position has a good bit of rearward travel left. Don

Also, disabling the seat-travel sensor that limits rear travel in certain configurations of tilt and recline is a 2 minute job, one for each seat. No codes thrown and you get an extra inch or two.

Yes, the seat motors are much stronger in the C7 than past models. (From talon90: aka Paul) You can damage the seat assembly if driven back too hard/far.
I chose to disable them to fine tune my settings... Don't worry, nothing is damaged as the seats still don't contact the rear, I just got that little extra I wanted.

I'm 6'4" 270 and fit fine. I found that with the seat all the way back I'm a little too far back and have less head room. I end up moving the seat forward about an inch so I can recline the seat a little more. I'll have to try unplugging the sensor next time I get in one. You have to be smart not to over do the extra movement.
