headroom in C230K
Is there a difference in front headroom between a sunroof and non-sunroof C230K? The MB website doen not have this information and the dealer does not have a non-sunroof car to examine. This information will help determine whether i buy a sunroofed 2002 off the lot or order a 2003 without it.
Thanks.
Thanks.

It'll depend what type of view you want over the hood. Having always driven smaller cars, I used to sitting with a "high" vantage point over the hood. With the sunroof, I had to lower the seat to a position too low for my own personal preference. So, no sunroof allows me to raise the seat to a better height for me.

Headroom COULD be a little better.
I have the pana roof, and have to put the seat down on the floor, which is a little uncomfortable. I had the dealer remove the handle from the drivers side roof ( I mean why would you need it)
since my head hit it before rather hard once, and I push windshield rearview mirror sideways most of the time, as it blocks my view, except as needed. All in all I'm happy and 6'2".
If I wanted an SUV, I'd have bought one. But I bought a Sports Benz.
I like it! You'll put up with anything if you truely like a car.
I mean how much headroom is in a Lambo, or exotic car?
I'd still own one if I had those kind of bucks.
So I agree with Mark, its more comfortable with the seat raised, but then you need to recline it more in the sunroof car.
AND I agree that it's (sunroof) the best part of the car!
I wouldn't have gotten the car without it.
