When test driving new Jaguars my husband noted that the XK coupe seemed to have less head room than the cabriolet. Do you coupe owners have an issue with head room?

Just curious in case I ever decide to do a coupe next time around.

No issues with headroom in the coupe, I'm 5'10' by the way. I believe there is less than 3/8" difference, with the convertable having the skosh bit more room.

 

Interesting! My husband is the same height. I'm only 5'3" so it's hard for me to judge. I just love the lines of the XK coupe!!

 

It's totally true that the convertible has about an inch more headroom than the coupe. I went out driving them yesterday up in Bellevue -- as I'm looking into getting one. I'm 6'3", but have an above average long torso so there are many cars that I simply don't fit in.

However, I fit quite comfortably in the convertible, and now I simply need to agonize over whether the changes for MY12 are worth waiting 6 months or more for, or if I should try and talk them down on one of the MY11s they have in stock. Or if I should look at one of the several MY10s that are on sale around the country...

Decisions, decisions, decisions!
