seat position
Hey all
Enjoying my F20, though finding a comfortable seating position a bit stressful due to the amount of tweaking that can be done. Can anyone give me some tips and pointers as to how you have your driving position set up.? Currently I have the steering wheel fully extended and raised high but just enough to see the mileage trip display. I like to sit low but close to the wheel with the seat back quite high. I'm still not 100% happy yet, find it awkward to adjust windows/mirrors as my elbows are at 90° and when turning tight corners my elbows hit the arm rests on the centre console and door. I'm literally spending hours now in the car playing with the seat Love it tho! |

Ergonomics hmm, I have always found that sitting back comfortably in your seat so that both shoulders are in contact with the seat.... Your hands should rest on the top of the steering wheel together and your arms are straight. That seems to be how I find the sweet spot so to speak. Hope that makes sense.

I do the same as both of you.
1: Seat all the way down in the back. 2: Seat all the way up in the front. 3: Seat forward until right knee is a close to hitting climate controls. 4: Steering wheel all the way out. 5: Seat back up until i can lean both wrists on top of the steerin wheel with shoulders pressed against the seat. 6: Side bolsters in until I can hardly move. 7: Adjuste height of steering wheel until all info in the instrument panel is visible. There is room for a helmet (I am 189 cm tall), but the arm rests are slightly in the way when you have the seat in the lowest position. I open the center console arm rest when doing advanced driving. |

Simply the best seating position I have ever tried in a normal car! The ergonomics is perfect (at least for me). |
