I'm 6' and driving on highest seat position, my kids are 6'1 and 6'5 and no issues there too, but I dont have sunroof as I didnt want one due to limited head room on back seat.

 

Same in my Q4. I'm 6'2 and never brushed my head even with a helmet on Maybe keep playing with that seat, think there's a slam to the floor option (I often chose that in any car)

 

What exactly is your head brushing, the sunroof itself, the sunroof shade, or the headliner outboard of the sunroof?

I'm a leggy 6'0" and have a sunroof despite not wanting one. Front seat headroom isn't an issue, but I wouldn't want to be a back seat passenger.

 

Headliner outboard of the sunroof. My head is 85% NOT under the sunroof, but rather under the headliner to the left of the sunroof which is WAY low
if i lean way right onto the center console, no issue.

 

What strikes me as odd is that In searching here and across the many reviews of Giulias out there there really isn't any mention of headroom being an issue. Jeremy clarkson even fit (in a QV) and he's 6'5! So, am I doing something wrong? (granted, I do have experience with how power seats work) This is me, with two different sales people across 4 different cars.

Keep in mind the QV has a carbon fiber roof and no sunroof, even as an option, to lower the center of gravity and reduce weight overall. The added benefit is the headroom gets maxed out with no sunroof mechanism. I think you might have stumbled on a perfect excuse to HAVE to buy a QV

Yeah, trust me, I thought of that. The AWD what's keeping me out of a QV... That and being a cheapskate. :laugh:

 

I would go and play and take some photos but the wife took it this morning. I think there is a small button that lowers it rather than back and forth. I am a big guy so i'm with you, the driving position / room is one of my prerequisites. I think someone will be along with a manual link shortly... SOMEONE? Are you there??

 

I've looked that up as well, unless there's something other than the button 1 it sounds like I'm SOL.

 

I must have been thinking of #1. Did you try a non-sunroof thats the only difference I can see? I can't see work out why you wouldn't fit...unless you have a crazy haircut

hahaha, oh yeah, I'm 6'7 with the afro... Yes I fit in a non sunroof car, but it's not something I want to compromise on. I'm also considering options from Audi and... BMW. I'm going to go try again at lunch and will report back.

 

good man. Ahh that's what it is then, so odd it's different!

I tried them (BMW, Audi, Lexus, Jag) out and as Shania Twain once sang "They don't impress me much!" GL!

 

When I first looked at getting one, I test drove a Q4 as there was no quad available to drive. Instantly the sunroof was an issue for me. They had a quad in for a service and they let me sit in it. Problem solved. Carbon roof means no sunroof. No sunroof means 2 inches extra headroom...BOOM. Bought a quad.

 

BOOM. Bought a quad.

:grin2: congrats!

 

I'm 5'11" tall with a 30" inseam and a long torso. When I first test drove my Giulia with dual pane sunroof my head was bumping the headliner and I was shocked at how little headroom there was in anything but the lowest seating position. My seat is always as low as it can go and even then I've only got ~1.5" clearance at most, which varies depending on how I'm positioned in the seat, whether I'm wearing a hat, etc.. It's definitely much lower roof line compared to my last car. Such is the price of style. My kid loves the fixed glass sunroof in the rear as he can see more of the world.

I'm honestly surprised at how high the seat adjustment goes. Very short people with long legs should have no trouble at all. Personally, I'd prefer the seat go even lower. But most of all I wish my Sport seats had the Lusso-only tilting seat bottom option. C'est la vie. I believe a Lusso "Luxury" seat comfort seat module retrofit for my Sport seats will be cost prohibitive. So instead I'm considering fixed spacers to go under the seat mount to give me a little more seat bottom recline.

 

My solution is simple: forget the exploding, leaking, rattling, failure prone, overheat-the-car-in-the-summer, weight adding, roll over performance degrading, wallet lightening, hearing loss inducing (if opened while driving) and body roll increasing sun roof.

Being able to adjust the seat to a high position is handy for people with bad knees who want to be able to get out of the car with less pain.

 

I’d say 90% of the Alfa Romeo Giulias on dealer lots in my area are equipped with the sunroof option. I wasn’t in a position to special order so I had to choose from available inventory.

 

Ditto.

 

Well, I dragged a taller friend with me to the dealer at lunch and just proved that I'm an oddly shaped man apparently. My friend who's 6'3 with a 34 inch inseam fits just fine with about an inch - inch and a half of room between his head and the headliner, while my hair is pressed against the headliner with the same exact settings...

 

Tall trunk or neck?

Why is the moonroof a requirement?

Adds weight and the bigger issue for me is all of these stories of spontaneously shattering moonroofs. Google "exploding sunroof". I would do my best to avoid it and I'm short enough that headroom is not an issue. I specifically left it off the build of my current car (2015 328i).

 

LOL good test! Are you SURE you're 6'2 You going to pass? What's next

 

Stelvio definitely has more headroom even with its default taller seat position due to its taller body. It feels like there is simply 10-15% more room everywhere inside the Stelvio even though it rides on the same platform as the Giulia.

Headroom, F/R
2018 Stelvio 40.2 / 38.9
2018 Giulia 38.6/37.6

 

I’m just under 6’2” and I’ve special ordered a Giulia Ti Lusso without a sunroof to get the extra headroom. I also like the tilt adjustments in the seat cushions (which I have in my current car) and both my wife and I prefer the light interior with the light wood trim. By ordering, I’m getting the options that I want, avoiding the sunroof, and I don’t pay for options that I don’t need. Over 10 years ago I special ordered the car I have now without a sunroof, and frankly, I don’t miss it. I once had a car with a sunroof, and having my hair brushed every time I moved in my seat got really old after a few years.

Those who really weant a sunroof might consider a Stelvio. Lots of headroom. ?

 

I am 6'3" and there is a ton of headroom with no sunroof, which I specifically did not want ... I have friends who are 6'4" and looking at buying the Giulia and want the sunroof and they fit fine. I don't know, we are all different

 

Being 5’6” I didn’t have an excuse to get a QV! Oh well!!

 

You don't need an excuse to get a QV.

Paging Shaq...

 

5'8" here so no issue with my sunroof, which was also a requirement for me. But I do live somewhere where it's always sunny (no, not Philadelphia). When I had my Giulia in for service, the loaner I was given was a base model with no sunroof. Gotta say, while there was a bit more headroom, it seemed much more claustrophobic without the extra light the sunroof (even with the shade closed) let's into the cabin. The interior headliner is also so plain on the non sunroof version. Oh, well. That's why we have choices!

I had the same issue with my Lexus ISF, it was one of the reasons I finally sold it. After the honeymoon period was over after initial purchase and I started to commute in it 160 miles a day on some crappy bumpy roads, hitting my head on the headliner got old fast. I'm 6'3 280 lbs so the Quad was a fresh relief that my head had more wiggle room because that was a huge concern for me. I honestly don't mind not having a sunroof.. I have used it maybe 15% of the time over the last 15 years driving cars. I used the sunroof more in my 99 Prelude than anything, but i was younger then so maybe I thought it was cooler.

As looking to purchase a QV it seems it had about 2-3 inches of head room over the overall competition.

Maybe you just have a longer Torso than the average Joe?

 

One thing to remember is that all seats take a little while to break in, and this may add a little headroom?

The Giulia sports seats seem especially firm at first but do settle in just fine.
