I usually have the seat floored out, but lifted it a couple cranks recently to give more of a bend in my legs which added lots of comfort. I sit moderately close as I also no the tallest. lol

The head rest is titled partially forward. It took me a few months of it poking me in the back of the head to find out that it moved.

 

I have pretty long legs (think sexy long legs with hair) so I guess I am "far back" I dont know Im only 5'11" and I have my seat as low as it can go and have the seat to where I am comfortable lol

All the way back, about 4 pumps up. I have long legs

 

Currently I sit so high & whack my head all the time (sunroof lip) 6'3" so i am all the way back..steering wheel is pretty low and deep. I change positions like once a month, just 'cause.

 

I whack mine to

I'm with the ST2 package, 6'1". My seat is floored and my steering wheel is all the way down and pulled out as far as possible. Seat back angle is pretty much 100-90 degrees. I sit up straight, no gangsta leanin' in my ST. Basically set up as if I was street racing. I have full range of motion on the wheel with both hands locked at 10 and 2, my shoulders and back rarely come off the seat when I'm turning. Right elbow sits on the center console and I shift with 70% wrist and 30% elbow&shoulder. Legs are bent but not in my chest and I can press each pedal properly. One benefit to having a size 12 foot is that with the right shoes I can hit the brake and gas with the inside and outside edges of my shoe sort of like a heel-toe maneuver.

 

Push the clutch in, hit the button to the right of the steering wheel, and push the stick toward you and forward. Now you are not just sitting, you are doing something much more fun.

 

i had a reply, but then i read about sexy legs


becuz tapatalk

 

i sit pretty far back and seat floored and I am a pretty small dude 5'6. steering wheel out a bit.my back hurts in all cars if I sit straight up.

 

Wheel all the way down and toward me. Seat as low as it goes and seatback at a slight recline but almost straight up. Forward until arms almost 90 deg. Sometimes one pump to raise the seat a bit as I found it makes it a bit more comfortable.

Getting in is easy. Its the getting out that will get you.

 

However one likes....

I'm close, low seat bottom and ~90 degree vertical back

 

Seat back vertical, seat bottom the lowest it can go, can't remember where the wheel is. With hands at 9-3, arms are slightly bent and with the clutch in, left leg is slightly bent.

 

pretty much what he said. low and vert.

 

Step 1 - set it to lowest seat height
Step 2 - clutch in, move seat back till slight tippy toe.
Step 3 - tilt seat-back back until arm stretched at 12 o'clock, slight bend at 9 and 3
Headrests are for pregnant women and weak men, I do not waste time adjusting it.

 

I'm 7 feet, so seat is all the way down, head rest is fully extended and seat back reclined enough to give me a good view out the side windows of the rear doors.

my back is sweaty after 3 hrs of sitting in the ST.

 

Stay out of the back seat then

 

You really want to know how I sit in MY ST??? Alright, you asked for it...

 

I am 5' 9" with long arms and legs, a short torso. The #1 key to seating position is the clutch pedal. the is the one thing that has to be set correctly, then everything else follows from that.
I set the clutch while I am also adjusting the seat bottom back (as they affect each other.) I typically run the seat bottom down in back as far as it can go. If the seat front moves, that is tilted up. Bucket seat style is my goal.
The steering wheel up/down totally so I can see between the spoke to the gauges clearly. the front back of the steering wheel is set so my arms when at the top can be straight out, or nicely curled if near the bottom of the steeringwheel, and balanced when at the 9 and 3 position.
The seat back is rather more straight UP than usual (compared to most other drivers. I cannot stand leaning back very far to drive.. makes me go crazy.. like I am driving some sort of messed up armchair recliner instead of a car...)

The rear view mirror is twisted up on it's mount up as high as it can be pushed, (unlike many who like it low.. I want it up out of the way, and thus also get a better picture of what is behind me) Side mirrors to fill in all blind spot to sides. So I just catch the vehicle next to me with perepheral as it leaves the mirror.. usually that, for me and my upright seating position moves the left mirror angled almost as far outward as it can go.

Once i have a nice seating position I am happy, and rarely change it at all. It annoys me if a seviceman alters the seat while doing service. (But I can understand the need in a car with a clutch)

 

I sit straight and far enough back that I don't have to stretch my leg to depress the clutch fully. I have the seat one crank from its highest setting so pedal action isn't at an awkward angle. I also have the wheel extended so I am not reaching for it and tilted so that I can easily see the gauges.

 

Got my **** bottomed out. I'm 6'2". The car still feels way taller and truck-like than my last car (MINI Cooper S), but I fit in it just fine.

Not sure on my headrest setting... Did not know of the pivotz.. Hmm


Also, this thread is amusing.

 

Thanks to your comments I adjusted my seating. I can now rest my arm on the console comfortably. Gotta get used to it but so far so good.

 

Ass down, head up.

 

I have to sit gangster as F### to make the recaros work.

I get it that they want you to sit with the proper posture, i simply cant do it in these tiny ST3 seats. I've tried everything single possible combo.

What works best for me is my head between the front window and back window, and seat all the way to the floor, Steering wheel all the way up and extended towards me.

6'2 235 lbs.

 

5'11 and 180lbs. I change it a lot but mostly im up high and back. i keep the seat pretty upright so my arms are almost fully extended holding the wheel.

 

Hey, you could have this car:

 

Yeah.... That's what people like me call a skate board.
