I am 6'4" and I have no problem, my car is the most comfortable car I have ever had. First time I ever drove for 6 hrs with no problem (meaning: no butt numbness)
I'm actually getting a back pain rather than butt numbness. But i wasn't necessarily refering to just the comfort, i was mostly on about the driving position, i.e.
posture, easy to quick shift, pedal access, leg clearance, steering wheel position (in relation with rest of set up) etc.

To Rislar, i don't like stealers either, but got mine less than half price with 4k on the clock. Cannot complain!

my comfort seats are the most comfortable car seats i have sat in. however, the steering wheel adjustment makes it near impossible to get in and out of the car while it is running

Excellent value IMO, i paid near 5k less that LLoyds wanted for the same model with half the spec, oh and no mods i might add, so happy days it sounds like you had a steal also, good man

This is very true, while it is nice that the steering wheel gets out of the way when I shut the engine off, it would be nice of it would do the same when the door is opened.

The other day my fiance wanted to go for a drive -for the first time- without asking me. I was out in the garden when i saw my car getting parked. I was half naked and started running towards the car yelling like an hysterical little woman and pulling my hair. She said "don't worry, didn't scratch it" ,
and i was mumbling in a semi-crying tone - "the seat ... you changed the seat ..."

i was furious that the valet changed my seat. i bitched about it the whole way home to a friend. they must have thought i was the biggest baby in the world. i used to valet park, you NEVER adjust a customers seat especially if it is a 9 billion way seat. i would have taken my tip back if i could. 10 on the way in, 5 on the way out. i was furious.

it has been a month, i havent been able to get it quite right since.

I didn't read all the reply's, so I'm guessing others have asked you this question, what model year do you have and did you get sports package/comfort seats etc. ?
