>>They seem to have perfected the reverse ergonomics :). I used to drive a Renault 4 and a Peugeot 504 (from the eighties) and both were perfectly comfortable, French style. Even a 2CV was nice to sit in,

>Spoken like someone who is not 6' 2" {s} I find a Toyota unpleasant after two or three minutes. Never sure what genius decided they didn't need to extend the tracks the seats move on another 6 inches in the back.

Someone thought it would be inhumane to cut off the legs of the passengers on the rear seat?

At 5'10" I still have relatively long limbs, but that's a problem only while negotiating my way into the seat. Maybe my comfortable position looks strange (seat not that far, but leaned about 15 degrees more back than most do), but I managed to drive a thousand miles in two days twice last year (yep, came back as well :) without getting any pain anywhere. Just tired.
