What angle do you have your steering wheel?
I like it as vertical as possible but still letting me see the guages. Second from most verticle is my choice. You?

Medium for me cause I have long arms and I sit high enough to see the gauges just fine.

i like mine as vertical as possible. i have on every car ever since i had my 88 IROC. i just find it more comfortable. i also keep my back pretty upright and low so my legs are fully outstretched. gives me that "fast" feeling my camaro had. even though i know my MM is much faster than my 5.0 IROC lol

What angle do you have your steering wheel?
Mine is set about 30 degrees off vertical. I guess you call that "Medium". Can't say that I have even moved it since the day I picked it up over 4 years ago. Feels right to me.

first click up from furthest down...still allows me to see the Gauges. My seat position for the seat itself is front of seat cussion all the way up, back of seat all the way down and the Mid all the way up. Gives me the " Flying Sofa" feeling...

Steering wheel set at medium, pedals all the way to the floor, seat front tipped all the way up, seat rear tipped about 3/4 down, vertical height full up, seat back all the way forward, lumbar support fully inflated.
Only change to that is when I go shopping with Ms.CH. I drop her off, park the car, turn the Sirius to some easy listening stuff, and then lay the seat back all the way back. The Bluesmobile sleeps as great as it drives!:D

vertical being as if standing up and flat as if lying down.
verticle: I Medium: / Flat: -- like a semi 18 wheeler truck steering wheel.
Overhang is: \ like in a Ferret armoured car.
I noticed that the car and driver test driver had his steering wheel very flat in 94-302's Marauder review link. I just wonder if that is why the car seem less manueverable or driveable and more of a cruiser to him.

Mine is one notch from full up, comfortable for me and I can see all gauges. Before I get out I put it up and then put it back down when I get back in.

I have mine one notch from verticle, so I can see the speedo, and used to flip it up to get in and out, but unlike my Subie, which I used to bang my knee on every time, (subies have a tilt column not wheel) I never do hit my Marauder and now just leave it alone and am very happy.

My steering wheel angle is 2 notches down from the top. The adjustable pedals are all the way down and so is the lumbar support.

About medium for me, just enough to still be able to get in and out without the interference of the steering wheel on your legs, and still see the gauges. :bandit:

Im about 3 clicks down from the top and my pedals are a click up from the floor. It makes the car feel smaller then what it is.

+1 with the back slightly reclined - I refer to it as the fighter pilot setup.

considering there are only 4 clicks in my wheel adjustment im glad there are only 4 choices. lol is there a difference between 300a and 300b adjustment. i swear my brothers MM has more clicks...

Flat as possible, pedals all the way down, seat as low as it will go in the back, up a bit in the front, seat back reclined. Don't care about the gauges, none of them matter, anyway:D
The only thing I wish is the steering wheel would telescope a bit toward me.. I pretty much like it in my lap. Don't like it 'trucker style'.
