Personalized seat adjustment
Does anyone use the personalized seat adjustments which are based on height? I find it extremely uncomfortable (5'9") as the seat is pushed forward way too close the the dash, the back of the seat reclined too low forcing me to do a gangsta lean and the steering wheel up and in my face as if I were driving a semi....
What is you all's preference on this?

It worked well for my wife for her initial "fitment."
She was reluctant to make all the changes from my 6-ft to her 5'3 setting, so we just let it do its thing.
It was actually pretty close, but she did some fine tuning and saved it under her profile.
Also saved it under mine, since we're not very good with the profiles.

I tried it. It seems gimmicky because, as previously mentioned, just because you’re X height doesn’t mean we all have the same length arms and legs. I also felt it put me too close.
However, I will say this that you should be close enough where your elbows are at a 90 degree angle while holding the steering wheel. This what they teach race car drivers and what they recommend at performance driving schools, but the steering wheel just feels too close to me.

Tried it didn’t like it. If you can adjust your seating position to where you are most comfortable what purpose does it serve? Each individual even if approximately the same size will most likely have a somewhat different seating position, one that best suits them.
