The front view honestly isnt that bad. Just takes a while to get used to how low and flat you sit in it. The front window from inside does seem tiny but straight forward viewing is fine. You can tell it has a long nose when driving it and cant see the tip of it, at all. Again, just something you get used to. The a-pillars really dont get in the way. Cruising around parking lots is the only time they bother me. Passengers side b-pillar is definitely huge and a blind spot. I typically look at the mirror and then through the back window before switching lanes to the right.

And yes, you need a 2 seater, kid or not. Haha Just something about the driving experience that makes it more fun when you have nothing behind you.

 

I have a car that is similar. It's a two door, two-seater. The nose is rather long and I sit pretty far back in the car. I always, always end up with the lip over the parking block. I can't seem to estimate where the front end of that car stops, for the life of me LOL
I keep finding myself trying to line up my seat with the passenger seats of the cars next to me (as usual), ....I gotta remember to lineup more with their rears.

 

The long nose problem is real! Cant tell you how many times I thought I wasnt at the block just to get out of the car and see that its under the car.... I am just glad the nose is up high enough that it goes over most of them. Once I lower it, I am going to have to pay a lot more attention to how far forward I pull.

Since the long nose question was brought up earlier, I paid attention while driving the car at lunch. Sitting in my normal position, I can only see half the hood, pretty much to the centerline of the front wheels, a little past the vents. There is still a good 3ft I cant see.

 

My roofline is really low, so I sit low. Like legs-out-at-front low. My hood is low. I can't see the hood




driving through parking lots is slightly tougher.
My car clears curbs my 5 mm. If I ever lowered it, I'd need a camera or to back in.

 

Ahh yes you share the same experience I do. This is my normal view. The tip of my nose is about level to the top of the steering wheel. I have to lean a bit forward to be able to see half the hood. Yours starts slanting way before mine so I can imagine how much of the hood you can actually see. Do you have to do the "supercar squat" to get in and out? I sure do. Out is always worse....

 

I fall into my car and CLIMB out. if I ever injured any part of my body I wouldn't be able to do either

What's this? About 11" off the ground? Less? Evo is about 15-16"

 

Edit - a different angle, as close as I could get to your picture.

 

Inconclusive, so I'm going to say I win the seat limbo contest LOL

my car's roofline is 1.5 inches lower than yours. Kinda maybe makes sense that the seat would be scrunched closer to the ground too.

 

Ok ok I agree your car "may" be worse. Next time the boss drives his, I'm sitting inside and then I'll be the judge haha.

Also, your roof line may be lower but do you see how flat and straight my car is at the top of my side windows? Thats 1.5" by itself. I have hit my head on it multiple times.... it's not cool.

 

I am very happy to not have hit my head. 😂

Much like your car, it is crazy how narrow of a slit the front window is from top to bottom. I can barely see the stoplights. When you first sit in it, you think it's going to affect your vision, but it really doesn't. I do have some reasonably sized a-pillars though. You add all that stuff up, and it's definitely not like driving a Honda Civic. Toss in the high center console, and I do have to admit I enjoy feeling like I'm wrapped in the car.

 

don't make me go measure my miata

 

At stock height, they are much easier to get in and out of. If yours is lowered, we may have a contender But then I'll just go lower my car so :P

 

If all goes well, my car should be sitting lower by the end of next week. Then the real fun should begin.

 

lowered plus race seat plus tiny door opening when top is up (which is 99.9% of the time)

 

He he. You have to fold yourself in half to get in.
