Strange driving position?

Anonymous · Post by **Anonymous** » Mon Dec 18, 2006 11:18 pm

tis kinda strange, whenever i get into the bx, i always seem to be sitting on the floor..

i know it's got 'height' adjustment but that really just tilts you backwards.

i really don't like that..

don't supose anyone has a solution to this do they?

first does the car 'rise' once u have started the engine, u should feel the car rise to its normal driving position provided the height adjuster nxt to the hand brake is in the middle is it?

Unless you're 3 foot 6 in your sox, you must have a collapsed seat cushion or broken seat frame.
Anyone over 6 foot usually complains about lack of headroom.

I agree with Alan, i'm 6' 3" and the headlining constantly makes my hair fuzzy

You not sold it yet James?

The GTi/leather seats seem to sit you higher up than the 16v ones, although I like being low slung

Probably cos I'm a young oik

Why is it boy racers wind the seat backs all the way then lean forward in a attempt to make you 1.0 12v corsa go faster?

Maybe the breakneck accelaration broke the seat?

no not sold it yet. haven't really tried

but i need to..

the seats are funny. i like to feel relaxed and can't get the right position. too reclined and i feel like a child and too far forward i resemble an old man..

there seems to be a lack of support just by the lower lumber which you try and compensate by reclining/tilting. i think so anyway.

for anyone who has driven a rover 200 '89-95 these seats ar just about perfect, and this is my daily driver.

I own a Rover 200 (as of about 2hrs ago)

Its a good driving position, but I prefer the BX's. The steering wheel in the BX is big and laid back like an old Lambo....its cool
