  I’m aware, but I’m very tall and the seat does not go any lower or back far enough for me.

    Hey, I feel your pain. Tall guys need bigger cars. I don’t know what circumstances led to you being stuck in a car that doesn’t fit you but I’ve been there too. I hope you find yourself in something more suitable in the near future. I was able to finally get into a vehicle I’m comfortable in a few years ago and it’s life changing. I’m driving an Expedition.

      Thanks, that’s nice of you to say! This one is fortunately not mine, it belongs to someone in my family and I just drive it occasionally. In my own car the seat goes so far back that I can barely touch the pedals even with outstretched legs. And there are no annoying buttons to be pressed by accident :D

    I get you. My biggest issue in pretty much any car I’ve driven so far has been just getting my knees ubder the damn wheel. I almost have to do acrobatics to get my right leg into the car.

  Yeah you shouldn’t have knees that close to the dash, unless you are 7ft and the seat can’t go back further.

        Tall gang 🤝

        But to be fair, I’ve driven plenty of compact cars that were very comfortable and fitting for my size.

        Why do these too small shoes not fit me?

        Yeah cars aren’t meant for tall people, entirely unsafe for them in a lot of cases.

      6’6 here I feel the pain.

      But have you tried the Citroen BX? I had to put on the blinkers to get in, and leave them on while driving…

      • Hubi@feddit.org ⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

        There’s no way you just mentioned the Citroen BX. Crazy coincidence. I’ve actually been looking to buy one for a couple of months (the early model with the cool instrument panel) but I’ve never actually sat in one. And I’m just now finding out that it’s too small??
