Director of Vehicle Testing Dan Edmunds reflected, "One of the main reasons I disliked driving our 2007 Fit was that I didn't fit in it. It had no seat height adjustment and the non-telescopic steering wheel was too far away. My 6-foot-2 frame was utterly incompatible. But all of my complaints have been magically wiped away in the 2009 Fit. Being able to lower the seats and pull the new telescopic wheel back has several benefits.

Wait - what? Does my Fit have a height adjustable seat and I've just driven 27k miles and not known about it?

I thought the same thing about the seats. I was looking forward and trying it after work, but I doubt it can lower since the gas tank is under the seat.

Often, when you adjust a car seat backwards, it also lowers. They assume that longer legs also means longer (taller) torso. The rails are on a slight slope.
