#1 of 6 CX-7 looks great....but headroom problem by budh Mar 17, 2007 (6:38 pm)
I am giving the CX-7 (Grand Touring) some serious consideration, but with a moonroof installed, I need about 3/4 inch or so more headroom to keep my head from not hitting the left edge of the moonroof opening when the liner is pushed back.   Of course, getting a CX-7 GT without a moonroof takes away all sorts of option possibilities.   What other vehicles besides the CX-7 would give you all of the following?    1. Good headroom 2. AWD/ABS/stability control 3. Averaging 20+ mpg (or at least close) 4. Decent legroom 5. Some style and luxury      Any vehicle out there meeting the above requirements? (Cost is not that much of a deterrent, "within reason".)   Bud H Replies to this message: vbbuilt (Mar 18, 2007 7:04 am) budh (Mar 18, 2007 7:24 am)

Replying to: budh (Mar 17, 2007 6:38 pm) How tall are you? I'm 6'4" and have the moonroof. I have adequate leg room and there's about about an inch to spare above my head.   Vince. Replies to this message: budh (Mar 18, 2007 7:24 am)

Replying to: vbbuilt (Mar 18, 2007 7:04 am) I'm 6'3" with a 32 inch inseam. So most of my height is in my torso.   If the left side of the moonroof opening wasn't directly above the driver's head, but instead was just a few inches to the left, it would make a big difference. (That is how my 2002 Highlander is set up with a moonroof - otherwise it might have been a problem in that vehicle.)   I'm used to sitting fairly upright which compounds the issue. Perhaps rotation of the seat for more thigh support would also help the headroom issue......

Spend some more time with the seat adjustment. I too have at least an inch to spare from the top of my balding pate to the lining of the moonroof.

I too want a moonroof but, am questioning only an inch above my head for safety reasons. One inch is really not much room if even a small fender bender accident. I am so used to my Subaru Forester with 2&1/2-3 inches that I wonder if I'd get used to only 1 inch. Replies to this message: budh (Mar 18, 2007 2:37 pm)

Replying to: erhayes (Mar 18, 2007 2:07 pm) Did you have that much headroom in a Subaru Forester (2 1/2 to 3 inches) and also have a moonroof in that vehicle? Or is that with no moonroof in the Forester?   That is about how much headroom I have in my Toyota Matrix - which was special ordered WITHOUT a moonroof.   Bud H
