Hi, guys. I'm looking to buy an 06' or 07' sport. Not supercharged for my wife. Given that the cadillac and ford forums I belong to have a wealth of info on this topic, I figured I'd start my search here. The other option is a lexus RX350. Given that I will likely get it in a few year, I refuse to by the RX. I'm 6 foot 4 and need the extra room.

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks
Eric

 

Well if space is a big concern, I would go sit in a RR sport first. They tend to be a bit small. If you find it uncomfortable, I would look into getting the full-size RR.

 

LRScott is right in that of course, you should sit in it first. That being said, my 6'6" friend just took a quick spin in the 2010 RR Sport that I was getting familiar with, and seemed comfortable enough. And for what it's worth, I took a spin in the 2010 Supercharged RR Sport today and HOLY ....

 

Eric, I just bought and received my 06 sport SC and so far can't say enough good about it. Whiel the center console is a bit wide at 6 foot I find the leg room ample and comfortable. My wife is 5'4" and can easily adjust the seat and steering to fit her frame too. I drove both the HSE and SC versions and IMO the HSE ran strong from 40 mph and up but was a bit too sluggish in the 0-40mph range which is most of the time in city driving. The SC as you know or would imagine has a stiffer launch without that annoying lag and has plenty of pep when you need it, however, it can also be driven in a very civilized way with a softer touch on the pedals. At 6,000+ pounds it takes a bit of a push to get it going I understand, and I am used to a faster ride in my convertible, but for me, I found having the extra ponies even in the times you don't need it was worth the difference since the on ramp of the highway or when you need to move more quickly is certainly satisfied with the spuercharged. Just my opinion, hope it's helpful.
