double vision
i'm 6' tall and depending on how erect i sit, my head can come in contact with the headliner. what i noticed for the first time last night is that when my head is nearly touching the headliner i am looking ahead through the very top portion of the windshield and there is some distortion. enough that traffic lights appear double (one on top of the other) as well as the tail lights of other cars. not a big deal but it looks a little funky. i also noticed that during the day looking through the top couple inches of the windshield results in objects looking shorter than they really are. if my body is more relaxed i sit a little lower and don't see this. anyone else notice what i'm talking about, or care to give it a try?

Rob, I'm 6' 2" and understand what you mean. It's just a case of getting as comfortable a possible, but sitting upright is probably an impossibility in any car of this size.
Just a sacrifice you have to make when owning a Crossfire, still better to have this problem than living your life as a short ****. :lol:

houstondan,
my seat is as low as it goes. i might be able to move the seat forward a little. i would say that my torso is a little longer than most my height, which would make my legs a little shorter (32" inseam pants). so i might sit a fraction of an inch taller than other six footers. i feel that for me the headroom is minimally adequate so i'm happy with that aspect of the car. i was just curious if anyone else has noticed the distortion through the top edge of the windshield during normal driving conditions, especially the double vision of lights at night. when i first noticed it i thought i needed to get my perscription for glasses updated. :lol:
