I admit when I am driving I do feel a little tall-- like my head is sticking up higher than the windshield. I'm always thinking about that when I'm behind a truck-- that if something came flying it would hit the top of my head.
I wish the seats had a touch more rake like the later models-- as someone previously mentioned. I like the idea of the 14" steering wheel-- how hard is that to replace and any recommended models or brands?
