Driver side seat travel adjustment

[roadrunner]

Just took delivery of a V6 w/Tech Pkg and love the car. A minor annoyance is that I prefer to push the seat all the way back while driving, so I don't have to bend my knees too much, but the factory set limit on how far back the driver's seat goes is not enough for me. I wish there was a way to adjust the driver's seat so it would push back a couple of inches. I like to sit high, and have raised the driver's seat as much as possible. I know that lowering the seat adds a little bit of leg room. Does anyone know if this is possible? Are there any seat spacers that could be removed so the driver's seat pushes back a couple inches for some added leg room without compromising seat height? If no spacers can be removed, is an after market mod possible?

Seems like this should have been a pre-purchase revelation.

Like I said, I love the car, and this is a minor annoyance and not a deal breaker. I knew about this before the purchase, and am looking to iron out this one last wrinkle.

I'm just curious, how tall are you?

Or, are you just using a Genny for "cruisin the hood"?

Unfortunately the Genesis suffers the same fate as most Asian cars in that their ergonomy is made for models a few inches shorter than the North American average. I too find that I could use a little more leg room even though I'm only 5'11" (heavy build though).

I have short legs and a long torso, so head room is a problem. I had to get the base model because there is not enough headroom for me with a sunroof, but I have plenty of leg room.

I am 5'10", average build at 173 lbs. In the winter, I sometimes wear dr.martens shoes which have thick soles, hence the need for a couple of inches extra legroom for increased driving comfort.

Our suburban home is in quite a boring neighborhood (by choice), so I don't really feel a need to be "cruisin the hood"
