I have an '03 Aero. It's comfortable, but I could use more front seat legroom. I'm 6'5" with very long legs. If I set the seat all the way down it's OK -- my right knee clears the dashboard by about an inch. But I like to sit up higher, and when I raise the seat my knee presses against the dashboard.
Really, these cars don't have much seat travel. I'd like to be able to move it back another 2-3 inches. Has anyone done this? Is there enough left on the seat rails to do this? Is there a stopper or something that limits the travel which I could change?
At least I'm comfortable in some positions in the 9-5. My mother has a '99 Accord and I can't drive it. I can't get my right foot on the pedals around the wheel with the seat all the way back. Too dangerous to even try.
