How low do you go?

I'm the same height as you but I have long limbs and a short torso, so I have the steering wheel as far out as it goes, the seat commensurately far back, but the base of the seat quite high. I dislike the sense of having my ears down by the window-line of the car.

My wife is 5'2 and has to have the steering wheel completely as far back in as it goes and the seat close and high, otherwise she can't reach the pedals!

Same here, although without the bit about the racing driver uncle. Think it was my driving instructor who taught me that. 

Lindsay is only 5’4, which is why memory seats are essential, she sits in a similar position to me just a lot further forward and with the wheel right in.

Thinking about driving position, thankfully she doesn’t sit really close to the steering wheel as you see a lot of women do, I always give them plenty of room as they can’t be properly in control and certainly couldn’t make big changes to the steering quickly. It’s the same with men who like to lie back behind the B pillar.

6ft, I have the seat as low as it will go with the front base pitched up slightly so I get as much under leg support as possible. I sit as far away as I can and the seat as upright as it can be in order for wrists to touch steering wheel.

2 manufacturers tend to get the seats low enough in cars I've tried, Mercedes and Porsche. These can be almost on the floor. And Porsche is one of the only car companies that when I put the seat all the way back, I then need to bring it back forward to get in position. Good job I'm not 6ft4"

BMW are guilty of increasing seat height over the years. I sat in an M2 Comp and was disapointed it didn't sit a lot lower and our old 3 series was again really high although I am told this is a touring thing as the saloon can get the seat lower?

Memory seats are a must have here too. I can’t even get behind the wheel with the seat in Angie’s driving position. Many years ago my gran had a mini. She was so short (4’10”) she had cushions behind her  and wooden blocks on the pedals. She was, by a huge margin, the worst driver I’ve ever been in a car with! One summer she came to stay for the six week holidays and crashed her car into a wall, a taxi and a pond. My dad refused to let her take us kids out in her car after that.

I'm 6' and have the seat as low as is humanly possible, backrest cranked back nicely. Chris Harris once said something about being able to rest your wrist on the top of the wheel easily, but he's a Queef, so who cares what he thinks? I'm not trying to set a Nurburgerkingringsting record. I also like the extending leg support cushions on the BMW as I'm quite long legged as well.

I can't even get into my car if Jo has been driving it. I have to physically move the seat back before I can fit in.

Likewise if my wife has been driving my car. But the iDrive allows you to set driver profiles that record the electric seat and mirror positions and then assign these to a key. So we have one key set up with my wife's profile and one with mine. So if I unlock the car with "my" key after it was last driven by my wife using the other key, the seat automatically adjusts itself to my setting, allowing me to get in. I only need to adjust the steering wheel and rear-view mirror. 

Same with mine, it moves up and back in a bit which is a nice touch, but it moves a lot further between drivers!   The headrests are also electric, so you can get a perfect driving position for each driver without any adjustment, it's just missing an electric rear view mirror.....  Memory on both seats is essential with them having 22 way electric adjustment, the passenger seat is set for Lindsay when my key is used and vice versa, the 535d only had memory on the drivers side.   The rear seats have 12 way electric adjustment and 2 memory settings.

The Golf has memory seats but a manual steering column, they're also linked to the driver profile but it took a bit of time to get used to needing to open the door to get them to move after having BMWs which start to move position when the car is unlocked.

Some people create non-COVID threads. Some people complain other people haven't created non-COVID threads.

Exactly.  Where will it all end...

Do you not have Sport Chrono?  I might be wrong, but I think that gives you an individual setting and links the key to the memory preset.

I don’t. To be honest there’s very little frippery in the Porsche. I even have to change gears with a stick! 

Im 5ft 8 and Tar is 5ft 7 so our driving positions are pretty much the same. I think I move the seat back 1 notch

Being 6'2" and long in the body I have to have the seat quite low just to duck under the sunroof and sun visors. Having said that, I only have the seat as low as necessary and no lower since I prefer not to be too low and find it helps my back on a long journey if I am sat a little higher. The Benz had memory on both sides, but neither the MINI or Audi do, so it is full on manual seat shifting in those. Fortunately Herself is nearly 6' tall, so not much adjustment required.
