I've owned the car for a few months now and ever since day dot I can't find a good compromise between distance from steering wheel and distance from pedals.
If I place the seat where I'm comfy holding the wheel, my legs are fairly jammed.
If I place the seat where my legs are comfy for heel-toeing, my arms are too outstretched.
Are French people born with unusually long arms...
I'm 172cm and have normal proportions (I think) of arms/legs/torso.
At the moment, its a definite compromise, I'm a couple of clicks too close for legs to be comfy, likewise a couple clicks too far for arms to be comfy.
My seat-back is almost fully vertical, steering wheel at full extension and lowest position.
Please tell me I'm not the only one with this dilemma.
I'm sort of forced to wear driving shoes with very thin soles, because any kind of sport shoes with thick soles make my legs even more jammed.
It may sound trivial, but I enjoy the occasional mountain run and will eventually take my 207 GTi to track days (I used to go regularly ages ago), and it doesn't engender confidence.
I don't imagine there's an easy fix is there?
