Tiburon Headroom

[AMD_Forever]

How much would you say Hyundai has improved headroom in its cars overall?

I once sat in a 91 Excel........evil miniature head crushing car.

im like 5'10 and have no probs. but i have a buddy who is 6'3' and is a big guy. he fits better if the sunroof is open. <img src=/images/forums/snitz/smile.gif width=15 height=15 border=0> if you have a head room problem, get a sunroof and leave it open. hehe. and do pay attention to the three stickers on the car that says dont sit up in the back seat and shut the hatch. no headroom there. none. zilch. nada.

WTF kinda question is this and why is it in the Tiburon forum? LOL I don't have a problem in my 98 tib. I sat in the 03, and test drove the 03 GT and didn't feel nuttin' <img src=/images/forums/snitz/oogle.gif width=15 height=15 border=0>

Actually, this was my only concern about buying the '03 Tib, since I love everything else about the car. They increased the headroom on the '03 by ~10mm (1cm) from the previous versions. I'm 6'1" and I BARELY fit in it (got about 1 cm clearance) with the seat all the way back and a decent decline. I guess that I'm just going to have to avoid speed bumps - ouch <img src=/images/forums/snitz/angry.gif width=15 height=15 border=0>

If you get a sunroof, it'll cut off another centimeter (~1/2 inch) from your headroom. My buddy (6'3) was looking into the RSX-S, but his chiropractor told him that a lot of his back problems come from the fact that his car is too small for him (currently driving the Integra GS-R). He's planning on waiting to see if and when the Type R comes out in Canada, as it has no sunroof.

Advice: go to a dealer and sit in the sucker and see if you fit. Warning: even if you don't fit so well, you may fall in love and buy it anyway, just like me. <img src=/images/forums/snitz/tongue.gif width=15 height=15 border=0>

Anybody know what the average male height is in the USA? I think it's somewhere along the lines of 5'8 - 5'10. I fit just dandy

Don't know what the average American height is, but I do know that it's taller than the average Asian height - which is why the cars from Asia seem to consider head room as an after thought. All cars in this class have the same problem though; if ya don't fit in the Tib, you won't fit in the Celica, RSX, etc.

How the hell do people have head room problems???

I'm 6'1 and I have never had head room problems in any car, except in the rear seat of coupes.

When I sit in the 2003 Tiburon GT I have at least 4-6 inches, and those seats make you sit up. Sunroof and all. My Sonata same thing. Although the Tiburon feels like I do sit much lower.

Lower the seats and its fine. There is a nobby thing.

I'm 6' but I have about 1" long spikey hair i fit pretty good in my tib when i have the seat all the way back and decline it a little. I still need to tilt the sunroof so my hair doesn't get messed up<img src=/images/forums/snitz/finger.gif width=33 height=15 border=0>

But sittin in the back is one thing that i hate to do, every little bump i hit my head pretty hard on that rear window<img src=/images/forums/snitz/mad.gif width=16 height=16 border=0>

but no matter what i love my tib<img src=/images/forums/snitz/smile.gif width=15 height=15 border=0><img src=/images/forums/snitz/thumbup.gif width=25 height=18 border=0>

So if you've got a long neck or a big hairdo, you can't have one.<img src=/images/forums/snitz/finger.gif width=33 height=15 border=0>
