Sore Seats: Has anyone else had trouble? 700 1986

posted by  someone claiming to be Fred Sanford on  Thu Oct 24 10:02 CST 2002 [RELATED]


I keep hearing that the old bricks have the most comfortable durable seats.
I for one, completely disagree.

My brick doesn't have tilt steering so the steering wheel seems to be slightly in the way when turning the wheel, trying to accelerate, trying to break.
What I mean by this is the steering wheel barely clears my thighs, I have to angle my right leg to fit it under the wheel and it stays angled to the side so that I can safely manuever the pedals because they seem to close or something.

I've tried every possible seat position (seats are manually adjusted) and no position is comfortable.
Has anoyne had posture problems resulting from the seat and steering wheel position? What about any of you tall drivers out there? I'm only 6', 200 pounds, and I have to move the drivers seat all of the way back just to reach a safe distance to be able to manuever the pedals. If I were 2 inches taller it would be impossible for me to drive my car.Ø

Any thoughts on this...
