Q: They don't look very comfortable and roomy and I was wondering if anyone big (taller than 6') on here (YA!) has been inside one or driven one. Examples: Lamborghini Murcielago Ferrari F430 I'm considering buying one as a gift for someone but that person is pretty tall (about 6'2"ish) and I'm not sure if it would be very comfortable for them. I have very little knowledge or interest in these cars myself, so I never really bothered getting inside one or going to a car show & that's why I ask. And I can't ask the person to go for a test drive because that would ruin the surprise. So, if there are any tall people out there who've driven one of these, I'd like to hear responses on the comfort level of the ride in terms of how well you fit in. This is a serious question too. I posted it on different forums and no one took me seriously. Thanks for the help. And what car brand should I start with? Which one is in these days? pancakes, the thing is, if I'm going to spend upwards to $400,000 (I think that's how much the Murcielago costs?) on a car, it should be comfortable and the driver shouldn't have to feel suffocated by the steering wheel. I think I'll go for one of these "super sedans". I'm looking @ the Bentley Continental and it looks like a pretty nice car. I'll save about $100K and it's a guaranteed fit. I still have about few months so I'm not in a rush. As for me: I'm honestly not into these extravagant things. I'm not sure if I'd like the attention that a quarter million dollar car would bring me on the road. BTW, these cars get horrible gas mileage. Okay, so I was at the dealership and from my experience, these smaller exotics aren't very roomy. So, that's not gonna happen. The larger sports sedans are much better, in my opinion. But I was really looking for something with a "sport" feel too it and room. In other words: The Rolls Royce looks way too old fashioned. I know some of the music stars drive them around but if you ask me, anyone under 40, without a mansion, & chauffeur has no business in that car, haha. It looks way too upscale for a young person. I've looked at most of them and after a process of elimination...It will probably be between these: -Mercedes SLR McLaren Roadster (I like how the doors open on this one) -Maserati Granturismo -Aston Martin V12 Vanquish (though they discontinued it for '09) -Aston Martin DBS Coupe -Corvette ZR1 (this is the supercharged one that 'hello' was mentioning...they didn't have it @ any of the Chevy dealerships)
A: My honest opinion is this....if I, or anyone I know, or anyone I didn't know for that matter, were to receive an exotic car as a gift...would my (or their) comfort even be an issue?? You are very thoughtful to think of their comfort, please, pat yourself on the back. They make these cars with comfort in mind. Rest assured, your friend of 6 feet 2 inches will not only be comfortable, they will be spoiled with amenities that I and the average joe could only dream of... ;)
