well im 6'2" and my head is pretty close to the top but it just depends on how you feel in the car. Definitly want to sit in one before you decide you want it cause my knees almost touch the steering wheel and my seat is all the way back and as low as it goes.

thats just how the spyder is I think because I am only 5'10 and the spyder was tought to see out of. one when the top down the top part of the windsheild is actually right in your face, that god forbid the sun is in your eyes andyou drop down the sun visors because they only leave a matter of an inch between the bottom of the visor and the steering wheel
