I test drove a SVX FWD a few days ago.
123k miles.
Red. For the condition it wasn't that bad. I think he was asking $5k~ for it. No leaks Tranny shifted smoothly. I love the climate control. Very simple and intuitive. The side windows was easy to get used to it. BUT, the disappointment I had with it was the rare seats are not designed for an adult to sit back there without their head touching the ceiling/rear glass. Is there a seat mod that allows me to lower it? Kinda blows. Now I might have to reconsider the Typhoon....... |

I really don't think anything can be done. I removed my rear seat cushion a few weekends ago when I was doing some cleaning, and it sits right on top of the metal frame.
How often would you need to take passengers in the back? I'm 6' 2" and it is a bit of a cramp for me, but my 5' 8" and shorter friends are ok back there... -Chike

I'm 5'8" and my head hit the top.
I don't think my torso is any longer than average........ |

I rarely have people in the back of my car but when I do they do comment about the head room but never complain.

How often would you need to carry people in the back? How tall are your friends?

Well, I like to be "prepared" for passengers.
They all vary in height. |

I've found the rear seat to be perfectly fine for small children and "normal" sized adults on short trips. I wouldn't even think about trying to shoehorn in either one of my brothers (6'3" and 6'5"). Have you tried moving the front seats forward and sliding yourself down in the rear seat a bit?
