Drove one at a small test drive event last weekend.

Dash & doors are too high (a problem with all modern cars, due to more strict safety regulations), can't see anything around you especially the rear view which the amount of visibility is the size of a mail slot (yes it's worse than ours!)

My head was rubbing the roof with the seat properly adjusted to reach the steering wheel (6'2"). Worst ergonomics I've seen in any modern sports car.

Push button start is pointless. You can't start the car while it's rolling.

Trunk space is a joke - did they put the tranny at the back like the 944?

Don't even understand why this car cost this much $, or why people compare it to our Boxster. People do too much paper reading and have not driven either car.
