not all 7s have that, if you have a base model it might not be there...

im 5'11, 180. I dont get too many looks in the 7, but i get quite a few in the miata. mazda did a good job af putting nice thin seats close to the floor. I took a hottie for a ride in high school one time and she kinda like fell in and was like 'damn its like youre sitting on the ground' lol.

6' 4" and i have my seat on the mean gangsta lean so i can sit comfortably. im gona look into extending the rails so the seat can go hard up against the back seat and then i'll sit more upright but have more leg room.

still a very nice, comfortable car to drive.

Maybe they don't all have it. I have two base models and they both have it. Here is a pic anyways.

Yeah, it helps quite a bit. I always get funny looks when I sort of clamber out of my seat. It's so difficult to get out of.

6'3 195 and the FC fits me nicely. Not too keen on the non-tilt models, and I prefer to use a 50mm wheel spacer.
