90s have possibly the worst driving position of any vehicle I have ever driven
I've driven tractors that are more comfortable

You've not driven a V6 156 then? They are just completely wrong!
Although I will admit that 90s are seriously uncomfortable... even as a passenger!

hahah yeah it stinks when it gets hot!!!
Mostly when off roading though, doing low speed, high stress stuff!
Also being moving reduces the effect!
