I test drove a 2006 Corolla this weekend and like the car a lot, except for one thing: the position of the steering wheel. When I got the seat back to where my legs were comfortable, I found the reach to the steering wheel to be farther than is comfortable. The wheel seems very close to the dash and I suspect the nearly straight-arm driving position would get tiring over time. I own two Chrysler minivans and a Chevy pickup currently and all three allow me to use the door and seat armrests and still reach the steering wheel. This wasn't possible in the Corolla and it doesn't seem to offer a telescoping option on the steering wheel.
Any Corolla owners who can comment on this? Do you get used to the driving position or is it tiresome on long trips?
