headroom in the new GS?

I apologize if this has been asked before; I didn't find a pre-existing thread doing a search.

For those of you who have a GS and are 6' plus, how is the headroom in the car? (assuming with sunroof) head touch roof? hair touch?

Just trying to get an idea before I hit the dealer. (Concerned I might like it too much and buy on the spot)

thanks.

it's been covered a few times before but it's been a while. the car has plenty of headroom for me and i am 6 foot. the key is that the seat is adjustable downward. i have about four to five inches of headroom. for those that leave the seat up high or prefer the seat up high the headroom may be an issue. again though, i have plenty of room and i am usually the first to complain when it's too tight in a car.

I'm 6'3 and I was having issues with my head hitting the roof, but like said above if you put the seat all the way down you should be ok. The only time I get close anymore is when I turn around to back up, sometimes I touch the top. You get used to tilting your head slightly...

It took me a few months to get comfortable in the car - initially a had the seat too far back to allow myself more headroom. I currently have it set with a little over an inch of headroom, say about two finger widths - with the seat on the bottom. Now i'm very comfortable. If i'm wearing a baseball cap and lean forward, sometimes it gets knocked off

...I think it's a small price to pay to have a car with such a lovely shape.

I like your precautions - check things out before being seduced by the car in the showroom - I could have saved msyelf a fortune if I never visited showrooms...

Thanks for the input everyone.

I thinking about waiting a bit for the GS350 to be out a couple months so I can get a fairly decent deal.
