I really think the seat style and position are going to be a critical part of it for me. I actually prefer to sit upright when driving as opposed to a lot of smaller cars I have been in where the seat lays way back. (Perhaps it shows my age, but I know many younger guys almost prefer to be "laying down" in their cruisers....just not my thing!) The seat in conjunction with a smaller diameter steering wheel may well get me to where I need to be.
