Default Re: Moving the seat in a Phaeton

I have a very tall friend who could not operate the clutch or brake pedals on a 29 sport coupe because his legs were very long. The steering wheel interfered. The solution for him was to simply drive with his shoes off. Drive stocking feet, in other words. Without shoes, clearance was gained between his legs and steering wheel. 28-9 open cars are a squeeze for tall people. Even if your friend moves the seat backwards, the front door is still very narrow. I'm 5'10", and I can get in and out of our 28 Phaeton only if I fold my legs in a certain way. These cars were not built for tall people. mike
