But again, I was sitting one with suspension upgrade and another Boss 302. Maybe that is not a fair comparison.
They are tight for as large as they are. And I think the FT86 is spacious for as small as it is. But if you think that's tight, don't bother trying a Focus ST (LOL). Equipped with Recaros, I was not comfortable in the one I tested.

my go to, can now be yours.

ie. lack of experience is a weakness that everyone has,
but not a fatal one that they won't hire you over if worded correctly.


g'luck man.
This is a good answer. When they ask the weakness question, they are looking for two things.

They don't want you to lie. "I'm perfect" doesn't fly. They'll see you as arrogant or naive, or they'll think you didn't bother to think about your flaws before the interview (i.e. didn't care)

They don't want you to be nervous about your flaws. A piece of interview advice I've carried with me over the years is "Never say no, even if the answer is no." What this means is, if they ask you, "Do you have experience with X", don't say, "No, X isn't something I care about" or "No, X and me don't get along." They prefer to hear, "I have not had exposure to X, but I believe that I can learn X if given the opportunity." Always turn a negative into a positive. You are selling yourself. By presenting your weakness in a positive, hopeful light, you're telling them precisely the truth, that you have some missing qualities, but you are willing and able to pick it up if they give you time and training.
