i gotta agree.......the armrest on my 02 coupe is quite tall. When i rest my elbow, my shoulder is forced to be raised up a bit. That makes shifting a little bit uncomfortable and because of that, i used to shift with my elbow down from the armrest, but then ppl told me i look really retarded like that........so i kept up with the tall armrest. However, im all used to it now and i feel 100% comfortable.
