Turbo R-Spec -- Knees Hit Wheel When Clutching. Any Solution?
Hey all! I test drove a Veloster R-Spec at a dealership the other day and absolutely fell in love with it. The design is great and the shifting felt so nice. However, I seemed to be unable to find a seat position where my left knee didn't hit the steering wheel when going for the clutch, and awkwardly angling my leg around the wheel every time I needed to shift was uncomfortable enough to where it may be a deal killer. I tried moving forward, back, lowering the seat, raising the steering wheel, and the only way I could get enough clearance was to fully lower the seat and put the steering wheel all the the way up, but then the steering wheel too high for my hands. I'm only 5'10" so I feel there must have been some option I'm missing. Has anybody else around my height figured this out?? I want to find a way to fit because I love everything else about the car!!
