I'm shopping around for one of these and would like to know if the optional back seats are big enough for an adult: it's hard to tell from photos?
At 6'2", I barely get in the front seat. No way I'd get in a back seat:eek::surrender:

Well I now know what my car would look like with Euro headlights.

Like Werner was sayin', Only if the folk in the two front seats are 4ft tall... Otherwise NO leg room in back

That looks like a nice ride. It is what I've been looking for ever since Werner let me drive his at the GTG in Great Barrington.

Too bad I'm 3000 mile away. I was in SF last month.
Patience, Grasshopper.

Patience is definitely not my long suit, but we are getting ready to pull the trigger on a ski house in VT, so all available funds are temporarily redirected.
Pocket money for a man of your means.

Shit or get off the pot.....besides, your knee is mush....how much skiing you going to REALLY do?


Oh ya...happy face :)!

If you can fly out and drive it back (after an independent inspection) it wouldn't be too bad. Shipping coast to coast enclosed would be expensive.

BYW. Don't know what wheels those are. Some kind of universal fit basket weave. Does look like it could be a staggered set.

No bidders at $6k.
I guess I'll be driving and loving mine a looooooong time.
I think these cars go for a lot more here on the East Coast. They must be a dime-a-dozen in California.
