Wow, I'm a dwarf to all you guys... I did notice a difference between the seats in my old '92 GS (higher) than the seats in my new to me 95 RS (lower). I have the exact opposite problem though. I have to scoot the seat up within three clicks of the steering wheel in order to be able to push the clutch all the way back. I eventually end up sliding down the seat but then again I'm only 5'3" and 113lbs, you could probably rest your elbows on my head.

I'm 6"6, maybe 6"7 and I can fit pretty comfortably. IMO a smaller steering wheel would help more than anything, and would be cheaper too. I find that the MX has a lot of room for such a small car. I fit in there better than I did in my old 4Runner...
