Less than the driver's side? I think so -- due to the glove box and
that handle being there. I only sit on the driver's side, though :-).

Re: newbie question
Honestly -- do you think an extra 70 - 80 lbs over the average person's
weight is going to affect the suspension of a vehicle?? That isn't even the
weight of a passenger. Think about it. If 80 lbs is going to have any
noticeable affect on the suspension of a vehicle, it likely either only has
2 wheels or is powered by batteries and is for 3 yrs and up.
Your height and width, on the other hand, will dramatically make a
difference in how COMFORTABLE the vehicle is. My wife's Cherokee, for
example, just seems so skinny inside compared to other vehicles we've owned.
Doesn't bother us, but I can image a wide guy feeling claustraphobic (sp?).
Also, in her XJ I feel like my head is about to touch the roof (6'1"-6'2"...
depends on who measures me).
My 2 cents...
