Coupe and rear passenger height

Hi Everyone,

Now that some of you have lived with a Coupe for a bit, has anyone had any 6ft + passengers sit in the back and, if so, how did they find it?

I ask because my stepson is 6ft 1in now (14yrs old) and he was my only concern when opting for the Coupe.
In my usual impulsiveness, I've chosen a Coupe without him being present to try it!

I'm only 5ft 6in tall so my seat will be further forward than most! Laughing

Cheers,
Stu

RE: Coupe and rear passenger height

I have the 5 door and my dad is 6ft and can sit in the back with inches to spare in headroom......... I do have pano roof though which gives a bit more height when the blind is open. Legroom wise was also ok but I am 5ft 6in so like you my seat was not right back. On the launch day I did see some tall guys sitting in the back of the coupe with ease, but that was for a few minutes and not on a drive.

Thanks Smile

Looks like it'll be fine...New Year means the annual trip to the in-laws in Belgium so that'll truly test the space...
