Rear headroom doesn't seem too bad, it certainly isn't cramped in the back for legroom or height (I'm 5ft10)







I really do love that fastback shape (that's as far as the rear windows go down)

The rear headroom is compromised a little. I'm 6'2 and it's a bit tight, though usually I'm in the front

Thanks. The last photo of the 7 in profile really shows the roofline dropping down and the window line coming up to meet it, there is obviously going to have to be a compromise somewhere I suppose. At least with the windows only closing halfway it might reduce the wind buffeting I experience with the S8!!!

I really like the fastback, I like the uniqueness against the standard saloon shape.

I saw a S7 the other day, first one I've ever seen, as it would appear the full fat RS7 is more popular judging by the streets of LDN anyway!
