Silvia S15

[FuzzyLogic]

I went to test drive a Silvia S15 this morning, Loved very Bit of it. Apart from one thing, i found there was not much head room when seated. This was the only downfall of hte car design for me, So i was wondering if this was a major issue or if people just adjust to it and sit differently, or if there is a work around for it, some how lower the seat or adjusting it to create more headroom.

Did it have a sunroof? The sunroof models reduce headroom by about 2.5". And you can't really lower the seat much as the stock rails are as low as you can get it.

mate i had an S15 b4 the 34 and im like 6'3 lol...it wasnt that bad for me but if i had a good stretch yeah, my hairy mop would brush the roof!

apparently the Spec S has more headroom?? no idea

S14 is more or less the same to drive and has more head room and boot space. Way more head room in the back. I'm 6' and I can sit up strait in the back. You're sacrificing looks for comfort really; make a decision. The 180SX is kinda in between the two in terms of room; never tried an S13 Silvia.

The S14 feels like it has a lower seating position than the S15 so I reckon you may be able to lower the S15 seat a little, even if you take the rails out and bolt it to the floor?

Ive had an S13 and S15, both sunroof, and they both have similar headroom. I'm nearly 6'3" also and haven't had a problem. I basically just had the seat all the way back and had it tilted back and it was fine. I had more problems with legroom than anything else, as my knee's would hit the steering wheel and dash.

I love japanese. I don't think it applies to other asian cultures, but unlike other nationalities, japanese are not cocky, pompous; very cool, friendly, very crafty- wise and intelligent people. No wonder why most of their cars are a work of art. Long live this nation!
