Seat Question in the 16 GLE
I just leased a 2016 GLE and as odd as this sounds, I am short and the seats seem deep to me, which means that being short because the seat is so deep its harder to reach the peddle unless I've got my seat up far. Anyone else having the same problem, wish the seat wasn't so darn long.

Can you adjust the seat length? I can extend it or shorten it like a bmw (I have the fully upgraded seat option though in my gle63).

The seats in our 2012 W166 (ML350) are really the only recurring negative. I'm 6'4' and more than foot taller than my wife. We both find the seats uncomfortable and hard on long trips even with constant adjusting. They have never softened or worn in to be more comfortable....on our 2017 we insisted on multi-contour seats that allow a wide range of adjustment and massage and we are looking forward to them when we take delivery in a few months. Unfortunately for some enthusiasts these seats are not available with the sport interior.
