I sit with the front of my seat bottom all the way up, back of seat bottom all the way down, backrest slightly reclined, seat adjusted so my left leg is still bent just a bit with the clutch in, and I like the steering wheel 1 notch above flat which is pretty low. I need to be able to see the 180-200mph portion of the speedometer through the wheel after all. It's like a fighter cockpit. Comfortable and functional for the kind of driving I do with the car. If I was road course racing I would be more upright and way up on the wheel compared to what I have now. By sitting get farther back I'm also putting my head directly under the roll bar. It makes me feel a bit better that way lol.

Since I'm taller, seat all the way down, all the way back and wheel at ~115ish degrees (Long leg problems) That's for the mega cabs. / crew cabs.

My wife's jetta? I remove the driver seat and sit in the back. it's a fucking roller skate.

I am rather oddly proportioned. 5'10" with a +8" reach and a 32" inseam. I sit as far back as my legs allow lol.
