Great Driving Positions - wjh2

Another thing that i am curious about in a new car is a fantastic, sporty driving position. The low-slung kind. I sat in a Kia C'eed a couple of weeks ago and liked the way the seat felt low and close to the road. Are there any other everyday cars (superminis, hatchbacks, saloons) that also have a sporty driving position?

Define everyday car.

The new 3 series coupe has a fantastic driving position. You sit low, with your legs quite stretched out, and a beautiful small three spoke wheel mounted near vertically ahead of you.

Cheers

I had the use of a Suzuki Super Carry many many years ago.

You'd never say anything about it was really sporty, but the short gear shift, the precise steering and the revvy engine made it handle like a go-kart! Great fun!
