Default How Tall are You? Headroom Problems?
Just wondering how you tall people find the SLK as far as headroom. I'm only 5'5", and I found the roof rather low. Maybe I just had the seat positioned too high.

Thanks for your replies. Yes, I think I must have been sitting up a bit too high. There wesn't much room b/t my thighs and the wheel - and my thighs are normal size!

Yeah, I am 5'8" and I feel I am sitting very low in my car. Which is perfectly fine with me. I also have a shorter torso, and long legs...so, that also could make a difference.
