my gf doesnt mind riding in it at all, she doesnt think the seat is bad or anything, When i just had headers on my car she didnt even care that it was obnoxiously loud either lol

my girl says her panties get wet when she rides with me....no complaints about the car except when people park close and she cant get in.

Not one girl that has been in my car has bitched or complained about. Every single one of them liked it.

They understood the car was meant to sit low. As far as the doors being heavy, they felt safer with how thick they are.

The only three minor possible complaints...
-floor bump
-fumes from cam and ory
-loud exhaust while on cell phone.

however once I take a girl for a ride on a sunny day with the t-tops off, they instantly fall in love...

I also like how thick the doors are, how it makes the car feel safer. (Helps compensate for the poor handling and visibility that lead to collisions.)

FYI, she's not elderly. She has pain issues. (So do I - funny how comfy I find the car. Edit: I keep forgetting that I use a special foam back support, although short drives without are fine.) Also, I made it clear I wanted her opinion. Regular, needless complaining would not be tolerated.

That's one way to look at it

I have never seen a problem with the passenger hump only when first entering/exiting the car, and even then it's not that big of a hindrance. While sitting in the seat, I don't see how it could be of any annoyance, unless you sit with your legs at a 90 degree angle, which is just completely annoying in the car regardless of the hump.

She pisses her pants over the way you drive?

sorry to hear that. Its good that she was honest with you...

yeah the tight suspension on any sports cars and low profile tires, will make it feel like a 50s lumber truck

Here's something fun to do for those with the lumbar support seats in their T/A. Look underneath the driver's seat and disconnect the vacuum line going to it from the passengers seat. Now your driver's side lumbar/bolster controls will affect the passengers side. It's fun doing this when there is a female in the passenger seat(the whole seat vibrates).

**clovenhooves** · 01-18-2011, 10:38 AM

Oh, I already knew that. Yet I didn't even think that might be an issue. Funny how clueless I was. I admit I was only thinking of the Bird as a showpiece. But no, I didn't do anything corny like drive fast to show off.

meh... i could give two shits about other peoples opinion of my car... i bought it because i like it...

sometimes shits too

**ibanez7** · 01-18-2011, 11:35 AM

my gf is usually the voice of reason when I street race.

she tells me when to slow down or enough is enough.
otherwise i get greedy and want to kick everyones ass that revs at me.

Its actually a good thing. Since I have dated her no tickets!!!

Passenger hump is terrible in my third gen, is it as bad in the 4th gens or better?

My passenger seat has a wire from the frame poking out the edge. Tore a couple of my ex's pants lol.

Also no visor mirrors so she stole the rear view mirror to do some look-at-herself girl bullshit. I wonder what's more important, that, or navigational visibility? derp.

Anyone taller than 6'0" was extremely uncomfortable in the front passenger seat.
Anyone taller than 5'6" was extremely uncomfortable in the backseat.

Also I got a lot of comments like "What's that noise" and "is that supposed to happen?"

Front speakers are normal while the back speakers are deafening on the same volume setting.

**clovenhooves** · 01-18-2011, 12:17 PM

There should be a high-maintenance test. Does the woman look in the mirror on her first few rides?

It's no different in a 4th gen..

I'm 6'2" and never had trouble with the cat hump on the passenger floor of any of the 3rd gens I've owned..

Maybe you should date skinny girls..

You realized all of this while still inside the garage?

Well many of us want women in the cars with us, so their opinions might matter!

My gf loves the TA. While she does think the seats in the Mustang are more comfortable (and I agree) she always wants me to drive her around in the TA...
