Im driving a pearl White t-bird and I fit fine, is the guy that wouldn't fit still on the board Id like to know how tall he was??

Umm...he could be a really really tall person or won't fit with the seat the way he likes it.

Headroom in cars is very subjective. A few inchs here and there can make a world of diffrence. Im 6'8" at 210 and drive a White Mazda626. When buying the car I literaly walked around a car lot and sat in random cars to find out what I can actually drive.

It also has to do with your body proportions. Some people have larger torsos or longer legs. So two people that are the same hieght and weight may not both fit into the same car.

I'm 6'3" and my head touches the roof even when I drive them.

Wow, a third 6'8" guy on the board. I seemed to fit just fine in the T-Bird.

Thanks everybody I was starting to wonder, I love the new T-bird and get allot of comments on it I was just curious about other issues on headroom since Ive had none

Is it true that Ford will discontinue the T-bird after '05?
