    I wondered if the seat's texture and firmness, may have been intentional...
    Waterproof; for sure!
    The firmness? Perhaps to help folks have a solid base for ingress and egress...

    we saw today was on the sales floor but was sold, so I didn't get a chance to sit in it, but it really sits low so I would imagine it may be a challenge to get into and out of for some of us.

    No doubt; there is a bit of a learning curve to it!
    My experience: step into the vehicle, and then sit down.
    It was easier than trying to get one leg in, slide into the seat, and then pull the remaining leg on board.

    Nobody with any seat time would agree with you...... The seats are very very comfy......... You could very easily log more miles at a rip than you could on your Spyder.

    I KNEW you had an office... But what I was wondering was if anyone else was in it when you had those three conversations. .
