Default Driver comfort

My right leg bothers me while driving (from holding the gas pedal steady) no matter the seat position. Has anyone else experienced this?

I do have vinyl seats which may not be as comfortable as leather, but I think my pain may have more to do with the gas pedal position.

Thoughts? Maybe I just have underlying leg issues that the disco is exposing.

long trips are a pain for me. Can't get my leg comfortable either. Also, I am tall (6'3") and would love to get extra leg room, but seat won't go back further.

I am 6.2 and I find the pillar between the front and rear door to push me in towards the center of the vehicle. Not very comfortable.

Default Tall people problem

I'm just shy of six foot, and sometimes run into a similar problem. I think the taller you are, the more you are doomed. How tall are you?

Just staying in the same position for a long time does this to me. So I will just kind of move up and down, forward and back, and use cruise control.

My wife is 5'0". "chunky".. and finds the DII the "worst riding. most uncomfortable car you've ever owned".

She hasn't been with me when I had some real winners...

I find the seats to not be supportive on a road trip, or a full day of wheeling.

One of the things I'm going to change while its down.

Navigator buckets, are ventilated, heated and have the black piping with a similar tan.... Might be the exact direction I go.
