Move down here to New Mexico. No need for heated wheel, real estate is cheaper still and no gators or even squirrels for that matter.

my kids sat in the back of the coupe, at 12 and 10, they still fit ok. A 5yr old will have no issues.

I just meant if he was referring to the LC 500 or some other car in general. Didn't occur to me that he was differentiating between the coupe and convertible.

I wasn't sure if you were referring to some other car or the LC 500 ... didn't realize you were drawing a distinction between the coupe and convertible. But thanks for clarifying.

Buy a second (or third) cheap char for when you must haul the kids. That's what I do.

So I just went to check out a convertible. Both my kids fit in the rear. It's a little tight behind me, but I can sit up and still ok.

My youngest who is about 4'3 is ok. My wife is 5'1 and my oldest is 4'7 and they are ok.

Should be good for a few years.

5,11. But for my long legs, I actually like to sit with my knees bent and almost hitting right under the dash but require a decent recline. Most people think I look like in sleeping.

So my daughter has plenty of room by her feet, but not so much around her knee area. But im sure driving this car with them, I wont mind sacrificing some comfort.
