GLS vs. MV legroom

vehicle with
the same seats?"
Well, it seemed to me that either the front seats are mounted farther
back or the adjustment track is longer on the GLS. Since I didn't have
the two vehicles sitting next to each other, it may be that I just got
that impression due to the more limited MV recline (don't think so), or
more likely due to the rearward travel of the front seats being limited
by the middle seats in the MV. Whatever the cause, I know that in the MV
front passenger seat I could barely get my knees off the dashboard, and
in the driver seat (I sit relatively close for my size) I barely felt
like I had enough room with the seat all the way back. In the GLS I
could almost straighten my legs in both seats. Now maybe this is also
the case if you remove the middle seats from the MV, but that would
negate the whole reason for getting an EV in the first place.

According to EKTA, the front seat tracks have the same part number
for all models. My seat goes all the way back with no problem. I
think maybe you had the seat back reclined far enough that it
whacked the rear facing seat and prevented you from moving the seat
all the way back.
