so ive had my cg for almost a year now. in fact, itll be a year on july 11. yes, 7/11. lol.
i dont know anyone else with a cg, except for my girlfriend's brother. but he could really care less. which is crazy. black 02 v6 coupe..
so how does everyone sit? how far forward/back? how far leaned up/back? how high/low?
ive always been curious of how others drive their cgs. i generally ride with my seat all the way down, id say a little over half way back. leaned back a bit.
for some reason, i dont know what it is, i cant ever get truly comfortable in my car. its usually my legs that feel wrong. if i sit close enough for comfort with the wheel and my shifter, i feel as if my feet are too close. and my legs tend to want to cramp up. if i try to make my legs comfortable, which seems almost impossible, unfortunately, im either too far back, or my head is almost out the sunroof if i raise the seat up for more seat leg support. im 16, and im about 6'0 as of right now.
also, steering wheel - up or down?
just thought it'd be a rather interesting thread.
thanks, :)

honestly, our seats are not that comfortable. lol. whenever i drive hard i usually put the back up almost straight and move the seat forward so that if i lift my knees like 2 inches they hit the base of the steering column. And when i'm crusing i scoot the seat back like 2-3inches and lower the back too like a 100 degree angle w/ the base of the seat.

I tend to not care on short drives, but when taking longer trips I have found our seats rather uncomfortable. I normally sit straight up and about 3/4 way back. Although I do seem to adjust my position quite frequently when my back begins to ache.

I really wanted to swap in some leather seats, and even found a niceeee deal on CL, only to find out the guy misposted and they were for a 95 Accord...I was pissed

knees high butt low and back straight.... very similar to the way a racing seat forces you to sit

As low as it can go, slid almost all the way back, usually sit straight up or leaned back a little.

like, like i said, the steering wheel and the pedals arent spaced correctly. youre either comfortable legwise and straining to reach the wheel, or comfortable in reach and straining to reach the pedals...
