I've been looking at everything M3W for about one year. I can't get enough of them, I just wish I could afford one !

I hope to get a chance to try sitting in one. Maybe at my height (6'2"), I won't even fit, so I can stop dreaming. Well, that probably still won't stop me. laugh2

I live and work in Florida in the US (is there another Florida ?), but I have a place in WNC. A M3W would be perfect for the mountains there. I currently own a number of motorcycles, and the last car I owned was a Porsche 914/6, but that was years ago before their value went through the roof.

Anyways - Hello to all !

Welcome. You should fit just with the pedals at foremost position. If you bought one you would likely need a steering spacer. Trouble with trying one the want will get worse. Can you find a used one with some miles on it, mods done a bugs shaken out?

I actually found a used 2013 at a dealer a reasonable distance away. When I went to look at it, it apparently sold a couple days earlier. frown2 I had hesitated to even go look at it because the want is strong ! Hesitated too long, I guess.

That was 6 months ago, but I just saw that their website shows a 2012 with numerous updates. I'll see if I get a chance to check it out, but time is short between work and an upcoming knee replacement. sick3

Best not go look then. With a knee op it may be some time before you could get in & it would be an expensive ornament in your garage.

Lovely ornament though! It would spur you through the post op physio in record time.

Good luck - make sure it has all the modifications necessary to turn it into something useable unlike the early ones. There is plenty of knowledge in that area in the three wheeler section on here thumbs.

Welcome and Good luck with the knee. I am 4 weeks post op and the pain is not to bad. You will hear lots of advice on what and what not to do. All I can say is keep it working and then rest when it hurts. I found a small cheap skateboard was great and I would sit on a stool put my sore leg on the board and just roll it backwards and forwards as far as I could. Everyone is different, but I couldn't wait to flick the Oxycodene, messed with my head to much. Just on one Tramadol a night now and Panadol in the day.
Hope you find the car you want. oldgit

Welcome Florida lime.. At 6'2" you are just about at the limit that will fit. I own a 2013 model year M3W and I have the petals adjusted all the way back at 5'7".. I hear the 2014 and up have better adjustable petals. Best to find a 2014 and up to
look at. One more issue, what is the the size of your foot? I hear size 12 is about max. I'm a size 9.5 D and I just fit with wearing narrow foot ware.

I heard the same about the 2014s adjustability as well, but I haven't verified it.
My shoe size is 12 to 13 depending on the shoe. My Sidi motorcycle boots are Euro 48, which says 12.5.
