    New Here.

    it's 6 Days old now, average is 47 mpg. Love most everything about the car except....the no height adjustment seats....Uggggg!

    Being 6'4", I fit, but i'm just at the limit of what is comfortable. No back pain or anything like that. Driving an hour at a time hasn't been a problem yet.

    I can tell you my mission will be to get a new height adjustable seat in there somehow/someway.

    Also The rear view mirror is upsidedown for now, that helps, but I would love a custom thin one for a better road view.

    Yes, a very common issue.

    SolarPowered created a height adjustable seat by using parts from a Corolla seat.

    I lowered my seat by modifying the rear supports. Mine is fixed but lowered .89 inches from the original position.

    Another option would be to get Recaro seats. They now offer seats with side air bags, but that option is $$.
