    I've seen somewhere post where someome describe how to make more place for drivers legs, there is a way to move seat more as manufacture make it.
    If anyone knows where I can find information about this, please show where is it.
    Thank you.:car:

    I can recall two such efforts. First was putting washers under the front two seat bolts (and using longer bolts there) to tilt the seat back. Second was welding rear extensions to the driver seat tracks so it could slide back further. Are you interested enough to search PriusChat for those?

    my growth is 189 cm. what is yours ?

    there is no need for me to move seat more than manufacturer provide.

    i can't drive at the last seat position, it's far enought.

    why do you need it ?

    I used to drive Mercedes 500 sel and always drive it with seat moved back as much as possible. I prefer to drive a car more lie than sit :) That's what I like and what is more comfortable for me (someone told it's stupid) but I want to feel comfortable and that's only one reason why I want to extend my leg place. I don't know how many cm I have but it's 5'9".

    This is unintentionally hilarious, Andrey. Use 'height' instead of 'growth'

    I sometimes make my German cousins ROFL with my German mistakes.
