She's home.

 

Congrats! Have fun with it.

 

Set up an appointment for tint and dechroming today so I won't even get a chance to enjoy her u till this evening

 

Congratulations! Drive her and tell us what you think.

 

Well my first opinion after 15 minutes is that she's very tall happy. In dynamic mode, she's the tires seem ready to break. Not sure if I like these Pirellis either.

The other odd thing is the seat back. In trying to go back all the way and it keeps push my back to a position it wants.

 

Congrats Polaris! It is beautiful, of course, and you can't go wrong with that color combo.

I hope for the sake of the forum's sanity that you "got a good one." :-)

 

Thanks Foosh and all!

I'm finally legit on here

 

lovely

I'm still waiting ......... 'nother 3-4 weeks yet - interminable

 

congrats and good luck!! Enjoy

 

Tail happy they are if you aren't judicious with the throttle. But if you want tail happy try driving with those tires in cold temps, the tires are like hockey pucs and spin if you breathe hard - lots of fun!

 

See my post in this thread, and the post that immediately follows by Unhingd that explains the work-around to this issue with the seat.

You can get that extra inch in one of two ways. 1) take the seat back until it recoils then tap the reverse button a few times until it's almost back to the furthest setting, 2) as soon as the seat reverses, quickly let go of the button and tap the reverse button very briefly. That will stop the recoil. With a bit of practice you'll maximize the legroom and you can then record it on a memory button, never to be bothered by that issue ever again.Another hint is to position the seat back as upright as possible before moving the seat back. Once the seat is all the way back without meeting resistance from the bulkhead, you can recline the seat back without it recoiling.

 

This damn seatbelt now!

This isnt a car for guys over 6 feet is it? I got take a yoga class to grab the seatbelt without opening the door. ****. I'm 6-01.

Im scared to listen to the stereo now. All the forum complaints are coming to fruition.

She's so sexy tho, I can forgive a few of her faults. Trophy wife!

 

Same height here. No problem grabbing the seat belt. Make certain it runs through the epaulet on top of the seat back (nearest the window).

 

Congrats!!

At 6'4" I'm finding the F-Type plenty roomy as a driver and/or passenger. It's the getting in and out that's tough but luckily ours is a vert and the top is down when doing so.

In addition to what was said above regarding seat positioning and memory, next time you are in it get the seat all the way back as mentioned above and save this as memory #3. That way you can more easily get in and out and once in hit the memory button you used for your preferred driving position.

 

On the passenger side use #3 button to store the seat-full-forward position so you can hang your dry-cleaning on the hook behind the seat.

 

Congrats! Be safe & you will definitely enjoy her.

 

I am a software startup geek. What is this dry-cleaning thing you referenced?

 

You just throw your tux in the laundry? I bet that impresses the honeys. lol

 

6'2" here and do this ^. Its very comfortable for long drives and no issues.
