    I’m also 6’3" and long in the torso. If I lower the seat in my Golf as low as it can go I have 4 inches of headroom and if I push it all of the way back I can barely reach the pedals. I keep my seat back fully vertical as well; I can’t stand for it to be reclined even a little. Either you have been driving the wrong cars, or you are looking for an excuse.

      Huh. I haven’t tried a Volkswagen. I wonder if that is typical of their models.

      Either you have been driving the wrong cars

      Apparently. I’ve tried many.

      or you are looking for an excuse.

      No need for the sass. Like I said, I have tried. I also drive a van now becuase we were fostering for a while and needed the seating, but I would love to downsize if only for the mileage improvement.

        Sorry for the snark. I work with altogether too many people who say they have the same reason for driving their huge brodozers, and when I tell them about my VW they dismiss it as too small. I shouldn’t take that out in random internet strangers.
