IMO, another positive review, and it comes from a more conservative (read: non-enthusiast) source. Only real negatives were:

- At 5'4", she couldn't get comfortable
- Ride is a little stiff. She writes "my body flab juggled". Solution: lose body flab

May want to have this moved to the Reviews forum, BTW.

my wife is going to have a fit about the passenger seat then.... she's 5'4". if they don't put a lift adjustment in p-seat for '06, then she'll have to get used to a phone book..... and like it.

Great read B)

But, It sounds like she was looking for a luxury car not a sports car. If I plan on running my girl I want to feel the road. It gives a better understanding of how far you can take it. :drive:

Same here... One of my biggest concerns was sitting down and not being able to get comfortable, straining to see past the dash and hood @ 5'6". I'm used to the short po-dunky Civics & Eclipses.

I think she thought this was a SUV or something. It's a sports car!! that means low and fast. As far as seat position and being comfortable, maybe she could learn to use the seat lumbar controls!

By the way my wife is 5'0'' and loves my car! I'm going to have to get her a Vert this spring so I can have full use of mine. I don't mind thought because when she wants to drive it I just drive the Cobra!!
