Maxima Lover with a few questions if anyone can help!

I currently have a 2013 Altima, I love the car... but I’ve always LOVED the Maxima. They always catch my eye and the new redesign for sure makes my heart flutter... but I do have a few questions for someone who owns one, I would certainly appreciate any feedback!
My main concern is headroom... I myself am 5’11 and my husband is 6’3. I know that the moonroof option cuts into headroom, but I just couldn’t imagine buying a new Max without a moonroof... to me that’s part of the appeal. Legroom isn’t a huge factor because measurements for my Altima are very similar and we both fit fine :-)
How is rear space? My Altima is not huge, but measurements are smaller for the Maxima. Not really a deal breaker as I don’t tend to carry many passengers, but if I decided to have a baby I certainly wouldn’t want to have to get rid of a new car if rear space is terrible! Any opinions or input appreciated!

Try one on for size, with a test drive.

I have a 17 maxima. I'm 6 feet 1 inch there's plenty of headroom in the front as the front seats seem to have a low seating position. I will say the front driver seat area is a bit narrow for my liking due to the high and wider than the Altima's center console. I wish the driver seat would go back just a little further than it does I like to streach my legs out a bit more.

You might have an issue with an infant rear facing car seat they can be kind of large. If you move the passenger seat forward you might be ok.

Very happy with this car overall, its a head turner for sure and fun to drive.
