Coverage and how to read this overview

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.

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

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!)

POST 2Original post

There is always room for head in any car.... er, wait.... you actually meant headroom, as in clearence between the roof and.... OK, I get it..... never mind! Seriously, I can't help you with your question. Sorry.

LMAO, Tim you're 100% nuts

POST 5Original post

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

POST 6Original post

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.

POST 7Original post

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!!

POST 8 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

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.

POST 9Original post

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.

POST 10Original post

Not sure but I think I was told you lose almost 2" because the Targa glass drops down and then slides back.

POST 11Original post

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.
