Default question for taller SC430 drivers

I am looking to purchase used SC430 but wondering about the headroom. I am 6-4 feet tall and wondering if my height will be problematic. Thanks in advance.

i am 6’3” and don’t have a problem. If I lean forward,
It’s a roomy comfortable car.

I have taken seven hour road trips and have no complaints other than the lack of room for stuff, my wife wants to take with us...LoL. That’s why my next big car will probably be an LS460.

Default Height or size not a problem

I'm a 6'5", 275 lb ex-rugby player and fit very comfortably. My brother is about 1 inch shorter and 100 lb heavier and he fits too.

Lol - me too. I'm 5' 9" and I find myself ducking every time the roof comes down. I know that there's a lot of head room. I understand it in my rational brain. I've checked how much space there is between my noggin and the roof. My animal instincts take over, however, and I'm cringing, watching all that aluminum coming straight down for my head.
