How is the headroom on the Murcie? Had a Gallardo 4 years ago and even though I'm 5'10" I had limited headroom so the seat went into the lay down I want to talk to you position.

Have u sat in a G spyder? I am 5' 11" and felt that it was a bit too small for me. The Regular G has more room. Personally - I would look for a Balboni in proper manual or MAYBE in E-gear.

Good luck

WFO. The Murci has more headroom. People over 6 foot fit much better. I did feel the legroom is limited in both cars.

Ritesh, I'm only 5'8" so I fit better in small cars. A balboni is not a bad idea. I just have a love for the superleggera.

No, matte is a fad plus it's impossible to maintain. It's only for rich people.

No, actually there were significantly more egear balboni's made than manual ones. Even the one that balboni drove while in the US was an egear car.
