This is great to hear, my 3 and 5 year old kids will be in car seats and i am 6 ft tall. I was a little worried about the space until my 5 year old can transition to a backless booster...

At the dealership today finalizing my build and I got a good look at all these colors. The BG was much better than I anticipated in sunlight, but in any shade it looks flat. I think the pictures are very accurate.

It's remarkable how flat these metallic paints - very subtle flake.

I'm a little over 6' and lean, and the back seat area provides more legroom than expected but the headroom was not good for anyone over 5'8-5'9.

The only concern I have at this point with wife and small kiddos is comfort for the occasional road trip. I know that's not the purpose of the car but with 6spd it would be a welcome bonus if comfort mode was actually comfortable ha.

Closing the loop… I ordered blue calipers and I am very happy, no regrets!

Thanks to everyone who pitched on this post.

if youre ordering a 25, i think red matches the steering wheel centre stripe nicely. Combine that with the M coloured or red seats, and i think you cant go wrong

Blue calipers are rather exclusive and are representative of M. I prefer it to the abundance of red calipers in the market.
