Driver Seat Position

I ran a search and couldn't find anyone else that's experienced this or brought it up.

Does anyone have an issue with how far the driver seat moves back?
I'm not a really tall guy or anything, just 6'1.
It seems to me like the seat just doesn't go back far enough for me.
In most cars I've owned, the seats will move further than needed.
But in this, I've got it moved all the way back.
Additionally, to help ease the situation, I've lifted the front of the seat all the way up to. That did move my feet back a couple more inches.

I just feel a bit cramped when driving.
Maybe I could get some custom seat brackets or something.
I've got a 2012 sedan.


Anyone else?

6'2" here and I do the same thing with the front tilted all the way up. I don't feel camped but if I could put it further back I would.

Im 6'4 and I dont feel bothered leg wise, but definitely headroom wise.

I like my seat back up so my head is super close to the ceiling when driving. I have to completely adjust seating position when driving with a helmet and it sucks.

Tried that.
The steering wheel didnt move back far enough. I guess my arms are disproportionate to my legs.

6'3, my head almost touches the roof. Lengthwise not really an issue.

You could take a picture, there could always be a jam, unless you think it is working fine.
