Car seat adjustments

[John]

There are a lot of drivers around who don't know that the seat is adjustable for height!

[Archibald Tarquin Blenkinsopp]

That's deep and profound.

You mean they are average height and don't need to tweak, or they are thick Brexit knuckledraggers that cant read the vehicles manual.

You mean little old ladies who look through the steering wheel rather than over it?

[The Natural Philosopher]

Some are not

[R D S]

I wish they weren't!

With that and all the steering wheel permutations I can never decide if i'm happy.

[Jim GM4DHJ ...]

yip I hate things with adjustment for that reason ......

[Harry Bloomfield, Esq.]

Mine has seat position memory, great on a long drive, I can just press a button and it moves to a slightly different position, to help ease back stiffness.

Our car has a memory linked to the key used. My wife and I have different keys, and the car adjusts automatically to suit whichever of us is driving. That's really useful as we share the car.

[Harry Bloomfield, Esq.]

It happens that GB formulated :

So does mine, except I only use the one key and I'm the only driver.

[Roger Hayter]

Me roo. It's a car, not a surgical garment.

[Dave Liquorice]

Most are if only by virtue of the runners for the fore/aft seat position are not parallel to the ground but slope up a bit towards the front.

[Steve Walker]

Only I drive my car, so I can get it set as needed and leave it, only needing to re-adjust after an MOT or similar.

I only drive my wife's car short distances, so I can put up with just adjusting the seat fore and aft position and the mirrors.

When my eldest son starts driving, I am sure that I will really be wishing that I had a car with recall of the set positions. Even more so when my other two sons start as well!

Not all are. Brian

[Brian Gaff]

I often feel sorry for those of a shorter stature as often even with the height adjusted its then all wrong for the pedals, and tall people who have the opposite issue and also bash their head on the very sloping windscreen in modern cars. Brian

Brian - if the ones I have seen were not ajustable there is no way they would have been made to be so low! I am refering to modern cars and so many are now - but I guess some 2nd drivers havn't found the controls.

[Andrew]

But does she leave hand-moisteriser cream all over the steering wheel and controls ?.

And sweet wrappers on the passenger seat ? (or is that you)

[Vir Campestris]

I've heard what happens when you borrow your wife's key... and it winds you into the wheel!
