The driver's seat, leather and 6-way adjustable, is mounted too high and my head touches the roof, but GM accepts no responsibility to date.
There is a funny noise in the steering just as you start driving (like rubbing, but not rubbing).
The engine performance of the car is very good.
The handling isn't bad either although it is a bit soft for a "sports sedan".
The interior is quite nice except for the grey, cheap looking plastic on the console, dash, door handles, and window/lock controls.
The driver's seat is not designed properly from an ergonomic point of view. In order for my head not to touch the roof, the seat must be adjusted down towards the back, and the backrest tilted forward. Makes me feel like I'm folded in half, and my back is killing me.
If you don't like the seat then why did you buy the car?
I have the same car. To improve the handling (too soft) consider performance springs. Cost is about $350 CDN for the springs $250 labor and $175 for the alignment. I love this car now, it is fun to drive and performs like it is on rails. This way there is no need to replace the struts, or put on bigger tires and rims. It is the best bang for your buck.
I am only 5'11 and I agree about the driver's seat lack of comfort.
Um yeah... i agree that if you don't like the seat then why in the world would you buy the car and then complain about it.
You mentioned something about a "rubbing" when you 1st pull off, I am experiencing the same with my Grand Prix... did you ever figure out what it was?
I totally agree with the very limited headroom. I thought it was because of the sun roof or something. My wifes 03 GP has ample head room for me. Why did I buy the car if there wasn't enough head room? Simple, I had the 03 and figured it would be the same inside. I did not testdrive the car as it came 400 miles away from another dealer.
Well then I don't feel any pity for you.
What I find hilarious is that the original poster somehow wants GM to retrofit the car so he can fit into it.
That said, there are about a zillion aftermarket seats available.
Or maybe he should do what the 16 year old kid did on the Lincoln Continental review - take a hacksaw and turn it into a convertible.
Uhhhh...the seat on MY Pontiac has an "up" and "down" height adjustment. I thought they all did if they had power seats. Am I wrong about that? My head rubbed the ceiling too until I pushed the button and lowered the seat.
I agree that up and down button is quite an invention the roof in the car is a little low so it has a more coupe like line to it since gm killed all the really good coupes and muscle cars in 02 and 03.
