i'm in my car quite often, and as i use to drive with my elbow on the armrest and leaning towards the center ... this has created uneven seat wear ... and when i try and sit straight up i always wind up leaning ... so now i'm trying to fix it by almost putting my head on the window ...

how many of you guys suffer from the lean?

My arms are long enough that I can rest my elbow on the console and barely be leaning,lol. Being 6'5" has its advantages.

i hate it when i find my self leaning, but having a 5speed helps, the only time i do it is when im at a light or feel really lazy and shift from a lean. but most of the time im sitting up staight ripping through gears.

blaaaaaaah!!

i wanna be taller, im a midget 5"11. Anywho, I don't think i have that problem because of the 5 spd... and if i ever lean, its always the left arm on the door arm rest... but i'm not that great at driving /w just my right hand

I do a minor gangsta-lean to the right. It feels optimal for shifting, both hands and feet. Then again, I'm 6'1 and have the seat all the way back/wheel tilted all the way up, and still feel like my legs are bent too much/too close to the wheel. So the lean helps that a bit.

I miss the driving posture from my acura...I drove with the seat all the way back in that thing, and it was like lying down on the ground. My legs were at just about full extention, and I liked that. If I was autoxing, I might sit upright and a little closer to the wheel, but overall I'm just not real comfortable that way.

My old 90 had mad room, so i did lean. At 6'4", if i try the lean too much in my 2k2 the rearview mirror is directly in my sight line. Damn tallness.

Raw_Toast

Im 6'5" and have a stick. No leaning required.

I am 6'1" and lean to the left, with my elbow on the armrest on the door. My girlfriend hates it because she feels like I have my back to her the whole time

Ya, I do the lean, but only becuase when I bought the car, it already had been worn into that position. I've been wanting to buy a new seat just to get rid of it.....

I'm a towering 5'6" tall. I sit up straight when I drive. I feel more comfortable that way and I have better control of the car.

Speaking of the ean...I have a story. I was at an arcade playing SegaGT, there was a kid who looked about 11 years old sitting in the "car" next to mine. He was leaned way over with his seat back and his hand resting on the top of the wheel. Then he acted frustrated when I beat him every time. The little moron could barely work the wheel and shifter with his posture all messed up like that...sad really...

acMAX

that would make me a freakin smurf at 5' 6"

slick

damn all of you giants
i'm freaking 5' 3" tall!!!!
now, aren't you glad you drank milk?

btw, i never do the "lean", because if i do, i can't see over the dash

SEguy182

i leaned for awhile, when i was lazy or tired whatever. But my seat never formed or shifted in that position. I like to sit up for the most part

I can't even lean at 6'7". I have to curl into a ball, roll into the car and expand slowly...

I should be driving a big old pickup truck.

for real...as a matter of fact, you should sell me your driver seat.
to the guy who's 5'3.....you're the man.
6'1 here with lean.

At 6'5", I feel your pain.

Personally, I think its dumb to lay your seats so far back you can't even see out of the window. I remember when reclining seat became available in cars and we used to lay the seats back and joke about driving like that. Sooner or later, bast posture is going to take its told on the body of people that drive that way.

clee130

Leaning causes pain in my lower back. I sit up straight with my tray and seatback in the upright position.

6'1" here...do you guys have the elbow indentation in the center console? i don't lean over towards the middle like all the people you see practically in the middle of their cars, but i don't sit completely straight. i try not to cuz it hurts my back and because i don't want to make that elbow mark any bigger.

Brendan

at 7'9" i have no problem ripping my driver seat out and driving from the back seat.

ericdwong

I'm 5'5. So I am tiny, I do have my seat reclined some though.
