My seat seems to not go back far enough. Im only ~5'11" and i feel like the seat is to close. My leg is always tired because i have to bend it up so far and the brake pedel is closer then the gas. Does anyone else feel this way? Is there anyway to fix this? I am thinking about selling the car to get back some leg room.

 

Im 6'3 and dont have any problem....maybe the '02 is bigger then the 99....no i dont think so...hahaha!

 

Maybe, it sucks though....

I dont know how you would have that feeling being 5'11. Im 6'5 and didnt have the felling you did, just wanted more

 

I dunno I got this car when i got rid of my Chevy Z71 so i guess im just used to all that space.

 

well thats why. the seat in a truck is a foot and a half off the floor.

look at the link i posted above

 

Thats cool, but do i have to weld it? The only problem with this is the decreses leg room in the rear......

 

Yo, i'm 6'2, drive a 99. I had that problem once, how bout you slant your seat back a little to angle yourself. IF that still don't work for you, then yeah, sell that car!! But there shouldn't be a difference in space throughout the years. So hope it works.

 

Yes you need to weld it, any welding shop can do it for you (bet even a muffler shop could) and shouldnt cost more than 20 bucks

yea there is less leg room in the rear, but when you have passengers slide it forward. If you tilt the front of the seat up some you will have more. You shouldnt have any issues at your height.

 

Also what works is if you use the height adjustment on the seat and sit higher. I'm 5'7" so I need to sit at the maximum height, and I found like that, it makes me have to move the seat way closer forward just so I can reach the pedals. In effect, a higher seat requires a taller person to reach the pedals because there's a longer distance from the seat to the pedals.

 

ya but the guys that are 6' and up cant move the seat up much

 

My seat doesnt move up and down.......

 

well then i would get that fixed. And maybe your seat isnt all the way back since it doesnt go up and down?

 

? I didnt even know there was a button for that. Theres the forward/backward button and then the back parts that moves back and forth. How does it work? Pull up on the forward/backward button?

 

im 6'1", if i pull it all the way back, it's too far! i drive w/ my my seat about 2 inches up from all the way back....

 

yes the forward back button lift up on the front and back of the button for up and down of the front and rear of the seat

 

Interesting, But im pretty sure ive done that. Ill try it.

 

oh your seat has it. just pull up on one of the ends

 

I'm 6' 5" and fit OK. Wish I had more headroom, but legroom is OK. If you've got long legs, you really need to put the seat all the way down, then tilt the front up. This will support your legs so you'll be much more comfortable.

 

The people in the backseat shouldn't be whining since you're driving them around!

 

haha, I know i would be!

 

Im still thinking about getting rid of my moonroof (taking out the glass and track and welding the hole shut) and getting the headliner redone. That should give me a inch to a inch and a half more room

 

That sounds like alot of work.

 

nah. could have it done in a weekend. (other than having a custom made headliner made)

 

justinp your mailbox is full.

 

Wow. The TL has more front driver legroom than any car i've ever sat in! I'm 6'3 as well! You're crazy, but hey, can't blame a guy for wanting to drive with locked knees

 

Since i found the up/down feature it has gotten better but still a little bit of a problem. I think its the way i have to move my leg when i hit the brakes.

 

the position that works best for me is when i lift the front part of the seat a lil and put the bottom all the way down.

 

i have no idea how you are having issues at your height. im 6 inches taller and most of my height is in my legs and i have no issues
