Adrian, either a lot of ceiling height is lost in Volvo 440s when a sunroof is fitted, or you have serious personal space issues. <g> I am 6'2" with years of experience driving the Volvo 440 (both versions) without sunroof and recall no discomfort due to top clearance. (FWIW, I also once ran a Morris Mini and drove comfortably in it too. Now _there_ was a car for bigger folk.) Could be that "your" seat was wrongly adjusted for height. -- Andrew Stephenson
