I was at the Perth Motor Show yesterday and I got to see some nice cars, especially the Aston Martin DB9 which I will be buying just as soon as I win the Lotto.

Anyway, the point is that I sat in quite a few cars with sunroofs, including a Chrysler 300C which is not a small car. Now, I'm 6'3 and my head was touching the ceiling in most of them. Sad

So I guess my question is: Sunroof or no sunroof?

The main thing that my Aristo had to have was sunroof..
not because i'm tall.. because i not! haha..
but i just love sunroofs... Bens BMWs both have em, and dads car that i have been driving while waiting for the Aristo has a sunroof.. and dont think i could not have one in the Aristo Smile

Thats me anyways... some people dont like the sunroof in cars!

Im 184cm and there's some leeway as you can always open the sunroof cover for more headroom.

At the back forget about it as there's next to no room as the roof arches down slightly.

Same as Jode's i wanted a sunroof as maybe in the longterm might add abit of value on the car then being non-factory optioned.

I really want one too... *sigh* I knew I shouldn't have had all that calcium when I was young

I'm yet to actually sit in an aristo so thats why I need some feedback from others on the headroom.

As long as you get an Aristo with decent suspension I think it has reasonable headroom. My brother-in-law went for a drive with me in the passenger seat and he is a BIT of a speed freak. Every bump meant a hit on the roof due to a combination of bad struts, country road and acceleration. Mind you, We were unable to tell what speed we were actually travelling at after a very short time if you know what I mean. He can loose his licence if he wants too. He said he couldn't own an Aristo cos he would lose his licence in a very short time and I agree.

I have a sunroof on my 380 company car, one on my Aristo and one in my Cressida. I hate to tell you all this, but I hardly use it!

Ditto.

I have the sunroof, but i'm not exactly a tall fellow =p ehehehe fits me well.
My mate is huge (wellll over 6') and he fits without hitting his head, but it's quite close regardless.

I won't buy a car without sunroof , Brisbane is a hot city , so when I park the car under the sun in summer , I always leave the sunroof tilted to get the hot air out .. I'm 5'12" .. Cool
