I also feel the seating position is kind of low. But seems like HKSkansai made a seat rail to adjust the height.

Hmmm, so I'm about 5'2", I guess that I should be expecting some issues then whenever the MR comes out.

I have to admit i wish the seat position was a big higher. Im 5'4" and can drive around just fine, but have been thinking of shimming a few washers under the bolts.

Are the seats actually lower, or are the doors just larger? I dont feel my ride height is any different then it was in the VIII. The only difference I have noticed is that the doors are a lot bigger for that side impact stuff.

My concern is the lower seats??what is that suppose to mean crash the car while changing lanes due to none rear visiblity

I am using a couch pillow BTW

Made the car spacious but what about the trunk the only thing that i use

Opposite tread pattern on the tires ??help with AYC or something

way to reach wider audience MITSU

ok i had to let it out for the new buyers

The back seat is clearly smaller than the old chassis so I'm not sure what you are talking about it being more spacious to reach a different market? They moved the whole passenger compartment back to even the weight split...strictly for the performance oriented consumer.

I'm 6'4 and I love the seating position in the old and the new. Lean the seat up a tad??

^ I know i can lean but need some raise in height so i can see back on shoulder while crossing lanes.

The seats definitely need some solution you are 6'4'' congrats with that.
