Are you female?
The driver's seat in cars is made mainly for males of average height. A man's arms are longer than a woman's, even if they're the same height, and their legs are often a tad shorter than a woman's.
Telescoping steerwheels cost money, so aren't on the cheaper cars. I don't have one. I have a Honda Fit. Well....maybe I do, come to think of it. It might come out just an inch or so. If it does, it's not much. I've forgotten because once I set it up, I leave it that way.
I've had trouble reaching the steering wheel in some cars. It's very irritating.
Well, I just saw another post by you. You seem to be male. So maybe you have short arms for a man. As I said, this is not an uncommon problem for me, since I'm female. I have to sit back a little ways because of the length of my legs, but when I do, my arms are almost fully outstretched on some cars, to reach the steering wheel. It was tricky getting my Honda Fit position set up. When I pulled the seat up close to where my arms were comfortable, my knees were touching the steering column.
Also, the headrests have a forward jutting angle now, since 2010, because ins. cos. lobbied for that. Most of the headrests are very uncomfortable for me because of the arm thing, I can't lean the back of the seat back far enough for the headrest not to push my head forward. That's because the headrests were designed for the "average male," who, because of his arm length and habits, usually drives with the back of the seat leaning back more than I do. If I lean the seat that far back, I can barely reach the steering wheel, and it also doesn't support my back. It's VERY irritating.
I have the headrests in the full up position (above my head....since they're made for a 5'10" male). Honda's are worse than some of the other manufacturers, for some reason.
