Thanks for the responses.  I should get out there and measure it.  I participated in a March of Dimes walk in Sacramento and parked in my work garage.  On the second floor I can stand normally and touch the overhead pipes and I am 5'9".  As it turned out, my husband came with me and I could not drive the Syncro anyway as he has sustained a work-related injury and is still recovering - he cannot climb in the Syncro or our Dodge without a lot of pain, so better to use a car.  Suffice to say he did not participate in the walk, just came along for company and support.  

It was fine using my commute car, but always better in a Vanagon/VW bus.  I had to change my shoes, had the dog with us, extra chair, food to eat - much easier in the Syncro. 

Donna, 87 Syncro
