How's the headroom in a targa compare to that of a sunroofed coupe? I imagine it's an extra inch or so, but that's an awfully big assumption when it comes to travelling to see a car or even purchasing it sight unseen... (unfortunately there are no targa's for sale locally for me to sit in!)

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

LMAO, Tim you're 100% nuts
Just open the targa top if the room is tight Seriously, don't notice the headroom to be tight, might be extra room vs. a coupe. Had a friend in mine not long ago. He is 6'1 - 6'2" 200+ lbs ... he looked comfortable, until we ran up through the gears on an on-ramp
One of my Brothers is 6'4", weighs 265-270 lbs and he fit in my previous 996 fine. Well, his knees were a little close to the dash.
I'm 6' 1" and I have a couple of inches from my head to the shade-liner. When the roof is travelling back, it slides downward, but even then it doesn't come that close. I must say though, my favorite feature of the Targa is the access to the back of the seats through the rear glass (hatchback-like). That sealed the deal for me. It's like having a dual-trunk!!
My issue is i have a long torso. I know lots of tall guys are ok even in sunroofed coupes but I brush the roof even with the seat fully lowered. I need another inch of space which is why i'm thinking of a targa.
Grantq- I had a coupe before my targa and there is definetly more head room, how much I'm not 100% sure. I would guess around an inch or so more. I'm not tall so I don't have the issue. I'm in Seattle, so if you have any plans to be in Seattle, you're more than welcome to sit in my car and give it a try. Just shoot me a pm.
Not sure but I think I was told you lose almost 2" because the Targa glass drops down and then slides back.
i really don't think there is enough room to be given head in a targa?

Well, what can I say.... and while we are on the subject, no there wasn't enough room for her to get to the nuts.
