Now I'm 6'3" and around 300 lbs...long torso broad shoulders. First thought after sitting in the car was that I wish the seat went lower because now I will need to tilt it back more than I really wanted to be comfortable. To be honest, my Kona feels like it has just a bit more room in the drivers area. Also, initially upon sitting, I felt the uncomfortable sensation of the shoulder bolsters. They seem to hit my torso lower than designed. Not a deal breaker but thought I would provide my first impressions. Even with that said, I love the interior. I just need to lose a little weight. ;)

Ok finally someone my height. I’m a bit thinner but also 6’3. I can’t tell if you have the panoramic roof or not. When I test drove a Select with no glass roof I thought the same exact thing about the seat height. Do you have the hard roof or pano?

congrats! I just picked up my GTPE on Monday. I love it so far! I find the seats very comfortable and I was a bit concerned since I have the opposite problem…I’m 5’2”.

It's a shame you ruined the front bumper with a plate bracket ?
While we should all say congratulations….

I agree, my first things getting a new performance car is order the dealer not to apply a front plate bracket and do not put a dealer sticker / emblem on the back.

Dealership said the front plate holder was installed at the factory. I was disappointed.

I instructed the Dealership not to put the plate holder on the front but my guy said it was installed at the factory.
Yeah, they’re always going to say that to not be held responsible. I’ve seen it happen countless times. They ruined your car and I’d hold them accountable. They had every chance to ensure no plate bracket was installed.

Maybe someone else can chime in here, but the 3 dealerships I’ve communicated with here in Northern VA told me Mach-E plate brackets ARE NOT installed at the factory.

I believe they were installed at the factory for first ones produced, but then they stopped. They put bracket in the truck and the dealer is supposed to attach it. So yeah, I think the dealer was lying.

I have a GTPE on order and I drove 6 hours round trip yesterday just to check that I could fit in the seats without a problem. I'm 6'1+ and about 280. I had this vision of them squishing me in from the sides but I found that I didn't even notice them (for which I was grateful). The salesperson was a very large woman and I asked her what she thought about the seats and if she was comfortable and she said she drove in one to somewhere (several hour trip) and she said she was fine. She was large but not tall.

Sorry to hear they are making you feel uncomfortable, that was my concern as well. I was relieved that they didn't bother me. I know that launch is making you smile though!! Enjoy!
