I sat in KH's +6 when we were passing the other day, fully expecting the seat height to be an issue. I was therefore surprised when it felt perfectly normal. And I'm 6'2". I really like the car though a smaller engined model would be more likely to see me change (4/4 or +4)

This is probably related to your leg/torso ratio. Short torso/long legs will fit better. We have a friend who is pushing six foot tall, but when seated, she looks maybe five feet....because she has unbelievably long legs in proportion to her body, and no, there are no pictures...……...

It was the seating position that killed it for me - I was seriously intending to buy one.

+1, I'd even almost got the rubber stamp from Mrs M, but for me it felt like sitting on a scaffold board

I regarded that as a plus wink Cushioning on my Roadster feels fine initially but ends up too soft after long journey. I think the firmer cushioning on +6 would pay dividends on such journeys.

I'd be very surprised if it was not possible to lower the seats: for me Aero style seats would be a big improvement.

Took delivery in the pouring rain last Saturday. SEATS!

I just dont understand what everyone is talking about to be honest, I am 6ft, the seats feel perfect. I had a 2 hour drive home and didnt want to stop, so I did not!

Love it. I can only compare to my old Aeromax, it just much faster and better handling.

I love the hidden music system, you plug your iphone into a 3.5mm phono jack, hidden volume under passenger glove box.

Lights at night are superb.

Brakes are very strong and feel is better than expected.

Fuel economy is a bonus, did low 40’s on a long run.

And it feels insanely fast.
