"tight cockpit" and "comfy seats" are not mutually exclusive.

He said the seats are comfy. And they are a pretty good blend of support and padding. Boxster seats are more comfortable on long drives but don't hold you in place as well. Elise seats hold you snug in the corners but they're virtually unpadded.

You seemed to be pointing out the lack of shoulder room and leg room (neither are a function of the seat).

 

I've been driving 2 seaters for 8+ years so I know what you mean. But it can be a drawback. Sure, when it's time to drive down the street for lunch, you get out of driving duties pretty easily. But then there are times when you want to take 2 or more people on a slightly extended trip but can't. Instead of "getting" to enjoy driving your car, you're stuck being a passenger in a much less enjoyable car.

I'm not saying I like driving 4 doors. And I don't like letting someone squeeze in the back of a coupe. But I guess it would be nice if it was a 3 seater like the F1.

 

I think the biggest advantage of this car is it helps prevent road rage (at least for the driver ), I mean its so fun to drive that it makes trips more fun.

 

I'm 5'10" and I was comfortable for the entire 15hrs of my drive from Philadelphia to Georgia. Like someone said earlier you have to fit into the car and when i first sat in one i noticed how well it fit me....which is 35% of the reason why I bought it.

 

girls seem to like it quite a bit when I pull up in it. Too bad my GF is riding shot gun... hahaha.

 

Yes, indeed 5'7 FTW!

 

[QUOTE=afwfjustin,Dec 18 2007, 09:44 AM] I don't see how people in the 6 foot+ range say that the car is not comfortable.

 

+ infinity

 

I'm about 5'7" also and recline the seat all the way back. I think i have one click left. driving gangsta style FTW!!

 

I'm a whooping 5'2" TALL and trust me, this car is very comfy for me!
