Thumbs up possible to adjust steering wheel?

hi all,

so i went to the mazda dealer to get some stuff for my speed3 that i am trying to get rid of soon. turns out they have a 2005 S2k with 30k miles on the lot. of course i had to test drive it. is there a way to adjust the steering wheel up/down or front/back? the salesdude had no idea about the car (he kept insisting it's a 6cyl haha) and i wasn't able to find a button or something to move the steering wheel around.

legroom is fine for normal driving, but i kept hitting the steering wheel with my leg during rev-match downshifts while braking (heel-toe). i am about 6.02ft tall.

thanks in advance

Nope. You can get lower seat rails, though.

Either Back Yard Special seat rails

or

(I've got the BYS rails and they are helpful. There are some good threads on the forums here about lowering the seat. I'm 6'4" and I do pretty good in the S2k, although I'm moving to a bucket seat for this summer)

I'm 6' and I barely fit. Moving the seats around angles and back as far as possible, you might be able to get comfortable. You can LOWER the steering wheel by putting some washers under the bolts, but the seats you have to mod the seat rails or buy some different rails
