Seriously...

Does anyone find that any keys hanging from their car key smack into their legs whilst driving? Also, is it just me or do people find their legs smacking into the bottom of their steering wheel as well?

Maybe my driving position is all wrong

On that note, what is a good driving position for control and comfort?

Have that problem in the Jetta, but mainly due to the dealers big keyring dangling off keys.
My biggest annoyance is no light on ignition on steering, so at night can't find the hole.

I always have trouble finding the hole....

T Go.

Maybe I should have rephrased that better.

Lol try putting fur around it!!!

I usually have it the "old skool" way, wrists touching the top of the wheel when my arms are straight.

However, I do know that for track days and thus racing drivers, its better to sit much closer to the wheel than usual, and almost bolt upright, this gives much much better control of the wheel, and you can twist it up a lot more.

Having said that, its better to not sit so upright day to day because by leaning back a bit, it relieves pressure off various points in your spine, so you wont get back problems as early

I'm not touching this one.

Or should I say ,not going down that road.

Regardless of how you sit, Polo seats are not really any good to you on a trackday. You might as well lean back like a P plater in a VT commodore. I find myself gripping the wheel hard enough on the road let alone on a track.

How do the taller driver's get on with a Helmet? I'm 6'4" and my head is almost to the roof with the seat quite low.

The A pillars definately have some racing heritage in them. Perfect position for looking out your side window at the corner exit on both sides.

there have been a few cases of these 'p' plates drivers involved in accidents and their seats have been so laid back that theyve slid under the seatbelt towards the pedals and broken their neck on the lap part of the belt on the way through

sounds like a good result to me!!
