I don't really know what I'm asking, but is it a car that a woman can drive without hassle? I don't want random guys taunting her or starting her down from their cars if its not a really feminine car. There was a post here about you guys getting lots of looks and compliments but I'd like to avoid that with my mom.

Many thanks.

I think the car is both feminine and masculine, and all in good ways. A while ago I saw an older woman (I'd guess at least 65) driving a SWP BRZ - I gave her a thumbs up and she smiled.

I think every city has a few bozos that are going to get jealous when they see a nicer car, but at the same time I feel like there are more people that go out of the way to respect the car (give you a wider distance when following behind you, etc) than people who will harass you for having it.

I think I get harassed more in my Carolla just because its a beater, and I tend to drive it a bit more aggressively than in my FR-S; generally, I tend to be a bit more relaxed driving around in the FR-S because it isn't worth rushing or darting around in to get from point A to point B a bit quicker if it means there is the potential to risk something happening to my car.

I think your idea is a little silly, but nothing you should have to be concerned about. Also, the seat height, etc. shouldn't be a problem at all if there is any 'disadvantage' between the sexes to be concerned about with regards to driving the car. I'd be more concerned about making sure she learns the dimensions of the vehicle so the front lip of your car doesn't get scraped up getting forward-parked against a curb stop with 3 - 4 ft of clearance between your car and back end of the parking spot :p

You have to realize that your mom is an adult, and has been dealing with annoying dudes talking to her since before you were born....hell it might even by why you were born.

She'll be fine.

Best troll thread ever. OP, pics of said mom may be necessary.

As a matter of fact it really is nice. I'm grateful and wish the same possibility for others.

Lol at the comments..... you guys don't seem to have this much fun so often, and in that regard, I humbly accept your gratitude for the animation that I have apparently provided for your lives.

My girlfriend drives my car more than I do. She says she gets more looks after she gets out of the car.

[nickhabi]

lmao she's already rented a C-Class for herself.

Guess the car is all mineeeee

My mom loves driving my FR-S.

About it being feminine, the guys at work used to tease me about "borrowing my sister's car".

I agree that it's a feminine car.
