[s-cars] Low-Mileage S6

[Tony]

Hap,

Remember these cars are from an era when what differentiated the luxury German cars fom the NA cars were the interior appointments. I believe they are an interior feature as much as any other. I noticed that that S-car for sale were missing straight away. In mid-90s you wouldn't find many cars with rear head restrainsts at all - I was looking. I had a 1990 90. It had raised cushion at the point where the head restraint would be, but insufficient in my mind. BMW 3 series, and some 5 series, had nothing and many others too. I bought a 93 CS100 - C4 chassis with the 2.8 V6 172HPs, velour interior, with rear head restrainsts (doughnuts). Nice car, just lacked a bit of "wellie" - English speak for oompf!

I am 6'3". My son is 6'3". When we went anywhere as a family he was in the back. You'll note I don't call them headrests - restraints. They aid in rear end collisions. I don't have any problem with the view - I can see over them! I got hit from behind, lightly, 6 months ago with no snow or ice on the road, just enough to remind you why the head restrainsts are there. Most people don't set them up properly in the front, I do.

Now, you can't by a car without them. Even have rear middle seat head restrainst in some cars - which VW have made an awful hash of.

Cheers,

Tony
