3. Can you easily find a comfortable driving position by adjusting the seat and steering wheel? Is there enough space for your legs andhead?

DC: Yes, in the F6 and F3, but not the F0. Even the steering wheel is adjusted to its highest level, my legs still can touch it, and sitting in the F0, I can’t completely see the front, because I am tall and the sun visor blocks part of my sight. The F3 is Ok, the F6 is the best.

O: (F6)Yes, I can find my comfortable position after adjusting the seat. There are enough space for my legs and head.

T: Yes. But the seats are too high.

D: Yes. Front driver’s seat is easily adjustable. Head room is fine.

P: Refer to the next question. In fact, when I got in, it was all set.

4. How do you like the seat? Is it deep enough for you to sit in? Does your back feel uncomfortable when driving for a long time? What do you think of the softness of the seat?

P: The leather seat of the F3 is deep and comfortable. But I didn’t drive it for a long time, so it is hard to tell. But it is soft enough. It is a nice car. I mean if it is for a 100,000 yuan car, all of these would be terrible. But the F3 is about 50,000 yuan.

T: OK. But could be more contorted.

D: Not able to test it for a long time. Yes, it is deep enough. Firm but not hard.

N: The driver`s seat is comfortable enough, but the back seats are narrow.

O: (F0)Yes, the interior space is a bit small and I may feel depressive when driving for a long time.

G: (F3)Yes, the seat is a little hard. And I may feel my back is uncomfortable when driving for a long time.

DC: The seat seems OK, but I should drive for longer time to really know.
