Almost bought an exige i actually drove from San Antonio to Dallas to pick her up put a deposit and everything on her. As soon as i got there i could not fit inside the car :cry:. I took my helmet and i had to bend my head to sit comfortably so it was a big nono. Came back to SA empty handed. :thumbdown: Sometimes i hate being 6'2

YOU CANT GO TIL YOUR LIGHT IS GREEN! GTFO OF MY WAY!!!!!!!!!!

I swear big truck/ SUV drivers are probably the most inconsiderate drivers on the road.

Too many funny!
I'm curious as to where people have their seat height adjusted to in the 86. I tried it all the way down but I feel way too low. I think I'm about 4-5 cranks from bottom.

I'm 6'2", and have the seat pretty much at the lowest setting. This car is all about low.

Indeed. Makes sense. I'm about 5'9"
