"Seat positioned too high" .... Really??
Discussion
Just read the Exige vs Cayman GT4 piece in Evo written by Nick Trott. I'll admit Nick isn't my favourite writer in the mag but it's a fair article....however it contains possibly the weirdest complaint I'll ever heard levelled at the Elise platform!
He says, and I quote: "the seat is too high, so you try (and fail) to wriggle lower."
I don't own an Exige but I've sat in one, and from what I recall it's the same as my Elise in that the seat is so low to the floor that you can't even get your hand under it. The floor itself is only inches from the ground underneath, and the driving position with legs almost horizontal in front of you is almost like a race car.
Where exactly should the seat BE for Mr Trott to be happy?
Now if instead he'd said the roof was too low, he may have had a point...
