6'0'' CRX, straight backed sparco seat, a lot higher then normal stock seat, wheel tilted down, nice and close position. I couldn't have it any other way :thumbsup:

try driving in one of the new corollas. i had one in nov as a rental while my car was in the shop.. it is the worst driver's seat and steering position hands down.. im 5'7" and tiny, so most cars r comfortable for me.. this one is the worst.. the steering wheel is too high even with adjustment and u have no place to put your elbows. the door rest and center console arm rest sit to far back.. u would have to have ape arms to sit comfortably..seat position doesnt matter forward or back..my honda, i just have the seatback reclined just alittle bit, and seat almost all the way forward, steering wheel positioned all the way down. plenty of room..

I have my seat reclined pretty far forward because it hurts my back if it's back too much, especially on my 8 hours drives to and from college :happysad: call me an old man if you want but it's the most comfy, allows me the best driving position to quickly react to situations, and gives me the best field of vision. I'm all about that h:

I once saw a dude in a sedan with his seat all the way back and his long ass arm was coming through the drivers passenger door and steering. I was like WTF?!?!?!?!?!!?
