While I was quite impressed with the 9th Gen Civic's improvements over the 8th Gen, I was baffled at all of the ways they made it inferior to the 8th Gen.
My biggest concern at this point is that they made the interior smaller everywhere, most importantly reducing the head room. Now I've tried tilting my driver's seat back a little to avoid constantly hitting my head in the roof (I'm 6 foot 3 and a bit tall), and while it's better than having it straight up as I always preferred to drive my 8th Gen, my head still sometimes hits the roof while sitting up straight. I find this to be an issue not only because it forces me to slouch, but also because if I were to have a major accident, I see it easily cracking my head open. I do have the seat lowered all the way down with the knob if you will.
I am starting to consider getting rid of my 2013 Civic Si for fear of it killing me one day because of this issue. Does anyone have any suggestions on how the seat could be further lowered so I get sufficient clearance from the roof?
