on test drives, seems I did have more leg room in the driver's seat/manual, what about the passenger?
I'm trying to fit a 6-3 husband over there...any other ideas for that?
I'm only 5-11, but have very long legs, 34 inseam is quite often not long enough. I cannot comfortably sit in the passenger seat. It's not because of the length afforded, but rather the lack of thigh support in the seating position required. Since the seat is so low and flat, your legs must go out nearly straight if you're tall, which you don't have room for, in order to rest them on the seat pan. Since you can't do this your lower back is always loaded and thus you're very uncomfortable. The solution to this is to, substantially, raise the FRONT of the seat pan, which is not adjustable on the passenger side. Doing this will provide thigh support for your legs and thus be comfortable without adding additional leg room. The trick here is to only rase the front of the pan so that your butt doesn't end up much, if any, higher given the lack of head room. I'm working on front track blocks to address this issue, but it's very cold here now and I'm experiencing a lack of motivation. There is really no other way of fixing the problem. I'll post info when I make them, but I'm sorry to say that your husband will likely be very uncomfortable over there until you change the seat pitch.
