Angry low driving postion IN THE-X

EDIT: I LOVE THIS CAR


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

Helps alot with headroom to have a low seat and the X still has less headroom than IX. I know that I couldn't comofortably fit in a X with a helmet (only 5'11" but long torso).

I noticed this too. I'm pretty short - 5'6" and I have a much better driving position in my VIII then I did when I test drove the X. I couldn't make a definitive judgment on it just yet however because I did not put a whole lot of effort into setting the seat up just right.

I love the low seating position .. I like the hidden feel .. I don't like feeling "peeped" at .. Maybe because I'm a blonde girl in an evo x .. I dunno.

I was told the seats are low and the roof tall due to the center of balance for road racing ..

Hey I got a GTS and you can have my seats, they even go up and down, I'm sure they would fit perfect. Just give me your seats for a straight up trade.

I LOVE the lower seating position. My IX felt like driving a bus.
