You think they'd miss the opportunity to shorten the wheelbase? Toyota went out of house to get a motor with a lower c.g. and gave up a lot of technical knowledge to get it, I have a hunch the seats were a low cost opportunity, not a compromise, tires are a squeeze after all, barely enough room for a small set of tools, helmet and duffel:




@Quentin My insurance rates have dropped every year of ownership, given that I'm about to hit the 25 year old mark I expect them to drop again for me this year, even if there's an uptick in risk for the car.
