hi

I noticed this as I recently drove a 2015 replacement vehicle from the dealer...

I recall when I had test drive the 2012, before ordering one, I was able to adjust the seat height to a very high level so that my head almost touched the ceiling.

I happened to notice the same thing on the 2015 model, both these models were probably the base/lower option foresters.

I actually like the 'trucky' feeling you get when you sit tall...

However whenever I drive my 2012 forester X premium I always feel that I am sitting in a bucket.

Does anyone know of any proper way to adjust the seat height.

Strange...I find the seat to be too high in my '15 XT Premium. I'm relatively short (5'6"), and even with the seat at it's lowest position, I am a little too high and can see too much of the hood for my taste.

I couldn't see much/any hood in my last 2 vehicles, though, so the height kind of freaked me out at first, but I'm getting used to it now...
