Am I the only six foot two driver who finds it really comfortable close up, the seat back up straight and the wheel all the way out? In my dreams it makes me feel like a rally driver: bent arms and good visibility.
The seat/position is my only whinge about the motor: It's true I am a bit misshapen - long legs and arms, shorter torso, bad back. However with the seat up close, which is good for my back, I find the pedal position awkward. I'm getting trained now, but initially I found it put a terrible strain on my right shin. And with it all the way back, the underneath of my thighs ache.
So I have two settings that I alternate: one right up, and one all the way back. On a longish drive I change it (or just go from one to the other) often, but on balance prefer it up close.
Still, love the car madly.
