OK, I'm short & fat - and the driver's seat made it feel like the clutch was too far away. So this past weekend - I removed the driver's seat, took it apart & pulled back the leather covering the bottom part of the seat. There's a whole lot of spongy foam there! I tried, but the only way I could remove it was to rip it out in small parts. Removed about 2" off the front. I left the flat part alone.
Let me tell you, the car has never been more comfortable! I can slide the seat back further & still easily get to the gas, brake & clutch. And, I can tilt the wheel down one more click!
