OK Joe, and others interested in this question. I took Joe's question about headroom and passed in on to Riley. Here is the response. See how easy that was :-)...
The question applies to me too. I'm 6'3" and I drive a Mazda MX-5 Miata which is challenging for the headroom. I've noted over some years that the height of a...

Hey Doug, Riley said that you could increase the *angle* of the backrest. This increases headroom but doesn't change legroom in any significant way. Remember...
