Default Too tall for Civic?

I'ld like very much to purchase a new Civic sedan, great looking car and excellent mileage.

I'm 6' 4' and am not that comfortable in the one I sat in at the dealer.

Do all Civic models have the same fornt seat and leg room?
Has anyone swapped the seat on a new Civic? How about moving it backward?

Any help is appreciated.

Tom

With each new generation of civic they come out with different usually larger interiors and new seats as well. Just putting a different seat in this new civic will not guarantee more leg room. To do this you will probably have to custom make new seat brackets to relocate the seat back farther. There might be other ways though.

I drive a 95 hatch and am 6'3" with room to spare. I did put in prelude seats, but still fit with the stock stuff. New cars can have seats swapped in also.

6'3" here and I have no troubles. Del Sol seats let you sit alot lower and give alot more headroom. The only thing I find a lil uncomfortable is that my long legs make me sit far back in the seat and I have to lean forward to get 1,3,and 5 gears. I am going to be changing to a shifter with a bend to make it closer to me.

Berz out.

I'm also 6'3 almost 6'4, and I don't have any leg room issues. Are you sure that the dealer didn't have the seat really far forward to give people a little more leg room in the back?

yeah, Im a little over 6"2" and I dont have my seat all the way back in mine. but I dont have a sunroof either, that takes up about an inch and a half of headroom.

Man there's alot of tall *****'s here.

I'm 6'3" in my '06 ex sedan. My seat is all the way back and my knee rests on the e-brake handle. Kinda sucks after a long ride. Of course I only weigh a buck 50, so I'm probably more prone to discomfort than those who have a little more meat on their bones.
I want to move my seat back about 2 inches. I haven't even looked at the seat bolts yet. I hope it will be easy. It's still too new to mess with IMO. Just my .02

well so far I'm the short guy in this post... I'm only 6'1". Either way I fit just fine in my '94 ex coupe.
