My friend just brought his cyber gray c-7 for me to drive. Getting in was difficult and once in the car my head brushed the roof an my knees were up by the steering wheel. By the way I am six eight, but fit nicely in my c -6. I was surprised and disappointed with the lack of room. I really wanted this beautiful new corvette, but I guess it is not in my my future. This is one time I hate being tall.

Apparently there is a trick to get extra room for tall drivers. If you haven't seen it might want to take a look and try again:

Get a convertible. Lots of headroom.

I did read that post about the seat but did not want to try it yet. My friend just got the car on Monday and only 234 miles on it. I didn't want to fool with the seat to much. I will try again when he gets more miles on it.

Go buy a Cadillac CTS V and you will be fine.

Just don't compute your gas mileage or look at the depreciation (coming from a V wagon owner). Comfort was excellent, ride, you name it... Other than mileage and holding value. ;-)
