    Anyone have any thoughts on how to lower the driver seat, or have the same problem? I'm 6'3" and find myself crouching down to look through the middle of the windshield. I've seen some people talking about the rear view mirror being in the way and I couldn't agree more. Any thoughts/suggestions would be much appreciated.

    6'2" Here and I have no issues sitting in my 1st gen, or my 2nd gen.. I usually have the seat more-so upright since it's better for your back... But I agree on the mirror being low, but there is a fix for that! :D

    Move the mirror up. ImMrYo has a good bracket for it.

    The rearview mirror in the way? Get the bracket from ImMrYo. I'm 6'3" and after moving the mirror I can see fine. I actually think the seats are too low.
