Default More Head Room In A Coupe Or Vert
6'4" and I have driven a coupe only. Is the head room the same in a convertible? Leaning toward buying a convertible if I am not banging my head!

Slightly more headroom in the vert although the specifications list the same headroom in both.

And a bit more headroom when you're driving a coupe with a transparent roof. Guess is about 1.5-2 inches or so.

As mentioned the specs are the same for both, however, the transparent roof offers a little more headroom than the carbon fiber roof.

On nice days the convertible has more headroom.

6'3" with a long torso. I fit fine in my vert. Can't wear a baseball cap with top up, but headroom is fine.
