    Default Seat/headrest question

    I have a Volt on order that will be here in about a month. My wife wants to know if others in the 5 to 51/2 foot height range have trouble with the headrest pushing their head forward in the volt? Almost all other cars that she has driven do this to her because of her height. One of the worst is my 06 Civic hybrid. Are the headrests adjustable for and aft on the Volt per chance? We have not been able to sit in a Volt much less drive one and would like to here from others in that height range.
    Thanks

    I am about 5 1/2 FT tall and had no issues with the headrest when I test drove the Volt. Just needed to adjust the seat belt shoulder hight.

    I'm 5'4" and have no problem with the headrest (or seat adjustments). I've had the same problem with headrests in other cars as your wife, but she won't have to worry about the Volt.

    My wife is 1.50 m tall (59 in?). Seat adjustment and comfort was a major reason for us choosing the Volt over the Leaf. She drove the Volt without any pillows or padding. Her Corolla has elaborate custom made foam pads.

    Another weighing in... I'm 5'2" and have had no problems with the head rest. I do find the shoulder belt a little high, hits my neck sometimes, but I have gotten used to it.
