Not enough context, but it's isn't a good driving position.
I'm aware, but I'm very tall and the seat does not go any lower or back far enough for me.
Just do like that guy in Police Academy
Hey, I feel your pain. Tall guys need bigger cars. I don't know what circumstances led to you being stuck in a car that doesn't fit you but I've been there too. I hope you find yourself in something more suitable in the near future. I was able to finally get into a vehicle I'm comfortable in a few years ago and it's life changing. I'm driving an Expedition.
Thanks, that's nice of you to say! This one is fortunately not mine, it belongs to someone in my family and I just drive it occasionally. In my own car the seat goes so far back that I can barely touch the pedals even with outstretched legs. And there are no annoying buttons to be pressed by accident :D

You're either
- far too tall for that car,
- the car is a heavily modified Peel P50,
- or you're one of those (short-sighted?) grannies that sits within licking range of the windscreen (marshmallow, with hints of orange, for the curious).
the car is a heavily modified Peel P50,
Shit, you got me.
Glad you came clean. The weight you've been carrying will lift from your shoulders soon.
You need a cyber truck like everyone else. They're selling cheap now for some reason.
The weight of having to pick the P50 up when it inevitably capsizes?
Maybe! If you've never experienced a Reliant Robin, now's your time. They're calling you. Can you hear them? Ooooink oooooiiiinnnnk!

It's the natural evolution of the P5. https://youtu.be/dJfSS0ZXYdo
I am familiar with the venerable plastic pig... never been inside one though, for better or worse
For glory!

Move the seat back
In the voice of Skinner: "yes"
They usually drive with their knees pressed on the windshield, so this is already an improvement.
A general "fuck you and the horse you rode in on" goes out to all car designers, who hide buttons beneath the wheel at all.
My car has a heated steering wheel, but the button is between the wheel and the door, in the second row on the left. Guess what I can't see when I'm driving. Lane assist? Same. And it's not like missing the button is inconsequential either, one button on that row is opening the charging port. Probably wouldn't open while doing 90km/h, but I'd not finding out in the first place.
Meanwhile the center console has multiple blank place holders where physical buttons could be installed, and my car has all the options is fully optioned. Just move the buttons, that you could want to use while driving, so they are actually visible.

I hate this trend so much. Even modern "luxury" vehicles have these blank spaces like they are some economy car from the 90s. God forbid they'd have to spend a few bucks extra for panels that match the actual options.
There's always a higher trim level.
Also, no blank switches in my car, just a big ass touch screen, and a few buttons where the actual function was not included in my model year, but they didn't bother to remove the button.
I had a car with a parking light switch hidden on top of the steering wheel column. It was blocked from view by the wheel and the angle of the column. I hit it by accident while cleaning my car and didn't see the parking lights were now on in the glare of the sun. I came out to a dead battery the next day. Why they felt the need to include a switch for just the parking lights and make it independent of the ignition is beyond me.
Why does your car have ESP? Sounds like a privacy nightmare!
Also, why is the a button for electro-convulsive therapy (aka shock treatment)?
Are you driving some kind of bizarre mind control car?
Also, why is the a button for electro-convulsive therapy (aka shock treatment)?
It's strategically placed right next to the ESP so that the car gives you a 15.000 volt shock anytime you turn it off.

scoot back.
Cut the leg.
There are 2 kinds of people...
Whatever your preferences (or leg-length modifications) are still absolutely avoid both kinds.
Be thankful you have a button and don’t need to navigate through 3 levels of touchscreen menus to get to the option.
Fucking Ford.
Buddy that's a Lexus. The corect way to sit in those is to put the seat low and far back than what even a bucket seat would do. You should basically be so reclined like it's one of those sofas from a shrink's office.
It'll take you a few minutes to adjust to the new ride height and gain your superiority complex over the other peasants on the road.
spoiler
Have driven a 2007 i350, basically stole this concept from the owner lmao
My car's SOS button is about half an inch from the passengers sun visor. If you try to slide it to the left to block sun towards the middle, it'll hit the button every time.

"I want this especially off!"
Jeremy Clarkson, as he presses the "ESP OFF" button.
That's a shitty design. As a tall person is it hard to find a car that fits? I'm not trying to be a dick, I'm genuinely wondering.
