Seat position, whats yours?

[meicalnissyen]

i'm 6'4" and i actually prefer mine forward about 2-3" and all the way down...


this is a great car for taller drivers, in my opinion... one of the reasons i bought this car....

Me tall too
My left leg likes this car but my throttle foot cramps unless I can extend it
had the rolla pedal modified in position and ration (like a short shifter) but this car appears that will NOT be an option drive by wire grrr. mebbe I can reposition the whole assy, but not likely and cutting and rewelding the plastic arm looks like a no go

I have the seat down all the way. I'm 6' tall with long legs so steering wheel is pulled back as far as it will go. Even with the seat a bit more upright than I would like I have to have the seat too close to the pedals just to reach the steering wheel.

I wish the wheel would extend another inch or so. Adjustable lateral support in the seat back would be good as well, my Eclipse had that so I could make the seat narrow to fit me.

I should probably raise the seat to make the pedals farther way and the wheel closer but I already feel like I am driving a 4x4 after the Eclipse.

I know how you feel, this car feels like its minivan high compared to my old EG6 Civic!

Horizontal movement is 3 notches forward from completely back and the seat is on the lowest vertical setting, nearest the floor. The angle is tilted back some, so to can just see the headrest in the rear window but I'm not in the lap of the person behind me. Wheel telescoped out to full length, and I adjust the height every now and then.

seat all the way to the bottom, chair back as far back as possible while still being able to see. lowridin all the way.

i just realized the steering telescopes! (wow, i just can't get over how complete these little cars are)... mine is comfy where it is, but i might experiment a bit... i have mine set just like mckrauts for everyday driving...

but for really sporty driving, like for autoXing or something, i have always liked to be a bit closer, a a bit more upright (can bend your arms more, better when both hands are usually on the wheel)...

i like planting my leg on the tranny tunnel, but i don't like the way it moves a bit... thinking of doing a bit of strengthening inside there or something... and the dead pedal is just right for me.

I always seem to change the seat settings. It really would have been nice to have a power front seat.

I have mine maybe 1 or 2 clicks from the floor, knee resting near where the center console starts to angle up towards the radio. I'm thinking I need to pull the steering wheel closer because I tend to slouch a little. I try to force myself back into the seat to stay secure but i'll get anxious while driving and lean forward.

tl;dr

I tried to set my seat up like I read somewhere... Elbows 90* when grabbing the steering wheel with both hands. Knee's at 45* when resting on pedals. Should be able to reach hand out and touch radio controls when leaned all the way back in your seat.

Slam the backend of the seat down with the lever on the side. lean the backrest so your back rests nice on it and the sides hold you in. I have my wheel pushed all the way in, and up so the top of the circle matches with the top of the highest point of the guage cluster (the surround).

damn we got some tall people here...-seat all the way down?

Anyone 5'7" care to chime in and your seat position?

I'm 5'7" and can't seem to find the sweet spot for myself...

I'm 5'8" and I use my 2 or 3 clicks up from the floor.

I'm 6'4" and I have the seat up quite a bit. Otherwise, I feel like I'm driving a go-kart. I had to put one of those gel-filled mouse pads on the console to rest my right knee. That hard plastic got very uncomfortable on a trip.
