Seat issue?

Anyone else feel like there legs are crammed up when driving? Has anyone done any modifications to make the seat go back a couple of more inches? It's so uncomfortable on my ankle because it feels like it's in an awkward position

I experience this issue.. However when I pull my seat back as far as it goes, I have the issue of the steering wheel and shift knob(5th gear) being 1 inch too far. Sometimes feels like the fit was made for people under 5'10" exclusively.

I am 6'3" and I can say that it is not bad for me in terms of comfort. I can see being cramped on long road trips though, more breaks to stretch is needed for sure.

My thought would be one can possiblly add 4 angle irons to "offset" the seat position a few inches towards the rear at the sacrifice of leg room in the back seat. Very doable, just need the right tools and some steel pieces to work with.

I am 6 feet tall with no issues regarding the seat.

5'8", passenger 6', both around 150 lbs., also no issues including a 3K trip we just took. No pain, got out of the car refreshed. So maybe the problem is for bigger guys?

With the seat back as far as it will go, steering wheel fully up, and the seat back vertical - what is the distance from the Honda logo to the top of the seat back (as shown in picture - note our seat wasn't fully up in this photo).
