    The worst is when I try to fit my family of 5 into the AC. They should make them bigger, truly.

    Yeah, that's almost as bad as when I'm out in my Miata and need to pick up a cord of firewood. I mean, what the hell are these lazy car designers doing, not anticipating a solution to my every whim?

    I can’t believe they didn’t create an El Camino version of the Miata to accommodate your needs.

    It’s not just him. I have to be careful not to hit my knees on the steering wheel as well, awkward wheel positioning compared to other cars and trucks I’ve owned. I have long legs, those with short appendages are probably fine :rolleyes:

    Solution is very simple. Get a vehicle with a larger interior.

    How tall are you? I'm 6'3" with a 36" inseam and never have this problem, and I don't even have the seat all the way back. Have you tried removing the driver seat and sitting in the back?

    Perhaps they don’t know you can raise the wheel.
