Where do you set the driver's seat vertically???
 
I've been trying different driver's positions and am making myself a little crazy.

Where do you guys set the driver's seat vertically? Maybe relative to the windshield. i.e. dead center vertically or maybe 1/3 from the top or bottom, etc.

I'm still working out the kinks on that as well. Right now I'd say I'm sitting just a bit above center, I feel that it is easier to control the car that way and I am able to see more of the road.

How many inches between your head and the roof??

Seat position

The real problem is that the angle of the steering wheel is too flat and is different from all other MBs.

I noticed this when driving a demo months ago and thought it might be a problem for me and sure enough, it is. To counter this, I have raised the seat up and lowered the column to where I can just see the top of the speedo. even then, with my hands at 9:30 and 3, my forearms are touching the wheel and I don't like it.

I didn't think much of the seats, either, but adjusting the lumbar support to the halfway point has helped a lot.

Disappointing.
