Bmaolne is right. You have to get used to the car.

Although I'm a mere 5'11" and 200 lbs, the giant I bought my Contemporary from was 6'6" and 250+ lbs.

He always kept the hard top on and showed me the easy way to get in and out of the car. Getting in: go head first. Getting out: go butt first. The seat is bolted in place and I have not had to move it. The seat seemed really narrow for my big butt, but now it fits just fine. My left calf muscle used to hurt after the first couple of times using the clutch. Also, it took a little time getting used to the pedals being shifted over to the right. At first, I was constantly bumping the gas pedal when applying the brake. Having a size 13 shoe dosen't help either. And I can only wear sneakers-boots are too big.

So........after the first couple of weeks went by, the car feels just perfect. But, my wife still hates it.
