I drive a Miata and have no trouble mounting the K2.

is a wonderful mount just on the passenger side of the center 
console, it bolts to the floor and can be attached and de-attached in 
just a couple of minutes.  When there is a passenger, it goes out, 
the floormat goes down and you can't tell anything is installed, the 
floor is flat.  When it is in, the mount is sturdy and positioned 
perfectly.  A pleasure to mobile.  Anyone who thinks a K2 can't be 
installed in their car needs to check W9IXX !
