Tall ppl seat sweetspot woes
Hi all,
I'm 6'3 and had my GS fsport for almost a year now, and I STILL can't find the sweetspot for my seat.
Too far back = comfortable legs but cramped arms.
Too close = cramped legs, knees hit the auto park button area but comfortable arms.
Too low = cramped hams and bad sidemirror view.
Too high = head bangs the roof and my legs touch the steering wheel.
FOR THE LIFE OF ME I can't get comfortable in this car.
Any1 else? Any tall ppl with insight or "tricks"?
Should I sell my baby and move on?

I'm only 5,7 and I still change seat position every time I get in my car, still can't find the sweet spot that I can use for life. It may feel sweet today but tomorrow it'll be different. Different jackets and shoes also make me change the whole seating position and I use all 3 memory seats for this purpose only.

I'm about 6' 1" and I find the seats and driving position in my F-sport to be very comfortable.
-Bottom seat: back is adjusted to lowest setting for height, front is adjusted to highest setting for leg support, and thigh support fully extended.
-Steering wheel: fully extended and lowest setting.
-Backrest: lower lumbar inflated, side bolsters 3/4 inflated
Settings are subjective on body size and weight too.

I can't imagine the angle my legs will be at with the back of the bottom seat all the way down and the front all the way up. Gotta try it later
Exactly this!

I have it in one setting and it almost never changes. I have second memory set for if I have a tall passenger sitting behind me.

I find i have to adjust the lumbar support every time i drive it. In my Tacoma i leave it in one place all the time. (but they are not nearly as fancy seats). I have two positions in the memory - one for cruising, one for spirited driving

I'm still making adjustments every day. It's not that the seat isn't comfy, it just doesn't feel right sometimes. I think it has something to do with the lower back part of the seat.

Same exact thing! I can't get the lumbar support to feel 'right' and then I think maybe the bottom is titled wrong. Idk it's definitely comfy, I just can't feel planted the right way.

The one car that I've had with the most comfy seat was my 2011 Camry SE. That sport bucket seat makes u feel like ur seating in the seat instead of on the seat. It contours to ur back nicely and I rarely adjust that seat unless someone moved it.
I think the RCF seats are nicer than ours too.

RCF has some awesome looking seats, I've never sat in them though. I just think our seats look conservative and boring. If you care about what your seat 'looks' like lol
