Consumer Description

STEERING WHEEL OCCLUDES THE SPEEDOMETER. ANALOG SPEEDOMETER IS IN THE MIDDLE OF THE DASHBOARD AND VERY LARGE. DEPENDING ON THE POSITION OF THE STEERING WHEEL YOU LOOSE AT LEAST 25 MPH RANGE (EITHER ON THE LOW OR HIGH END OF THE SPECTRUM). THERE IS NO DIGITAL READOUT WHICH WOULD BE A SIMPLE FIX TO THIS ISSUE AS THE LOW CENTER PART OF THE SPEEDOMETER "RING" IS ALWAYS VISIBLE. ALSO, THE DRIVER'S SEAT HAS A BUILT IN ARCH THAT DOES NOT FIT EVER BODY. IT IS NOT ADJUSTABLE AND (DEPENDING ON HEIGHT) POKES YOU IN THE MID-LOW BACK AND DOESN'T LET THE UPPER BACK GET SUPPORT OR RELAX INTO THE SEAT. RESULT IS VERY TIGHT AND SPASMED BACK MUSCLES. THIS GETS WORSE OVER TIME.
