I heard the spiel, the guy who designed the a110 was tall, i’m 3 inches shorter than him at 6’2. Here’s the thing, the seats are lovely but set on their middle height setting with the seat all the way back, my head rubs the roof even without a helmet.

The bottom setting (which requires a socket set to change the seat height so I wasn’t able to try it) looks like i’ll get maybe a cm or 2 headroom.

What am i missing? Why don’t i fit well?

Otherwise, that car is an absolute peach. It also looks even better in person.

They refitted the seat for me - in the bottom position its more angled back so there was more head room given than the 2cm or so you’d think from the hole spacing. I still couldn’t wear a helmet but driving around would have been just fine.

Also tried the electric seats in the gt model - they gave enough headroom too. They’re not as tight fitting seats but still supportive.
