They must've changed the seats since the '90 900. I'm only 5'9", but my legs feel totally crushed. Since I can't move the steering wheel back I have to sit bolt upright when I drive. This isn't bad for short trips around town but for long distance driving it's lousy. Don't get me wrong: I love my car, but before this I was driving a Buick station wagon built on the same design principals as a barcalounger and it's hard to surrender that slovenly comfort. Leigh
