You say the dash cluster is hard to read. Just curious, how tall are you & how adjustable are the seats?

Thanks

I'm 5-11 and adjusted the seat so that my head was about a fist width from the head liner. I adjusted the seat so that I was quite a ways back fromt he steering wheel. Still, about 1/2 of the gauges were obscured by the steering wheel. No amount of adjustment would help that. I'd have to bob left and right to find the needles...
But the worst part was that at around noon time, the instruments were washed out by a reflection. The cool thing was that you could set up the back lighting to any of about 6 colors...
The seats themselves were comfortable and much more supportive than todays. From what I remember, the seats are adjustable to the same degree as my '03, but I think the controls are on the left, with manual lumbar adjustment.


351CJ,
I did not notice the difference in the size of the brakes, but they worked smooth, and with just the right pressure. I did not make any emergency stops, so I cannot testify to the effectiveness in those stops.

Stangston,
I loved the styling, and colors, handling, acceleration, room, visibility... I think this will be a much better car, IMHO, than my '03. While I understand the "retro" styling, most of it could have been done a little better. Would I buy this car? I would! But I 'd replace that dash cluster the following day!

Peace..
