Hi All,
I've been seriously considering purchasing a Giulia for some time now and this past weekend I finally started searching. After trading a few Emails I went to a local dealer with my eye on a car with the dual pane sunroof (a requirement for me) only to find that I don't quite fit! Now, I'm not a huge guy by any means - a little less than 6'2, though probably with a disproportionately large torso compared to my legs, but I couldn't find a seating position, outside of an extreme backwards lean, where I wasn't brushing my head on the ceiling. I tried cars with the base, sport and lusso seats with the same results. I was however, able to fit in a car without the sunroof, but like I said, not really an option for me.
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. Is there a setting or something that I'm missing that doesn't let the seats drop to their lowest positions? Do the seats "settle" any from when they're new (a 1/4 inch would make a difference)? I know this is a relatively new car, but are there any known aftermarket options for lowering the seats?
I appreciate any help, as I'm pretty crushed at the moment.
