Not who you are responding to, but I have a tall sitting height and I suspect that the steering wheel is too low. Consider this diagram of a properly adjusted steering wheel (instrumentation is where the "II" is): /----\ / II \ |------| \ / \----/ If you are tall what can happen is: /-II-\ / \ |------| \ / \----/ A telescoping steering wheel helps quite a bit because you can adjust your seat back/forth more to get a good angle, but in cars without telescoping steering wheels, I have the second sight-picture at any position in which it is comfortable to hold the steering wheel. If you are suggesting: II /----\ / \ |------| \ / \----/ then this will render the airbags ineffective.
