I had to laugh last week. A friend who has to have state of the art everything went to see if he would fit in a Hyundai i5 Ioniq. ( I had to look this up). He couldn't adjust the seats because there wasn't enough power in the battery apparently. WHY, when E range is important do they insist on fitting unnecessary stuff like electric seat adjustment? And everything else which few people ever use.......
Whilst in part I can see the point of your argument, I must be one of the few that does use electric seats, in fact I prefer memory electric seats which also adjust the steering wheel and door mirrors. I'm 6 foot plus, my wife is 5 foot and its a pain trying to finesse your preferred driving position after the seat has been moved, if you both regularly drive the same car. The wife's driving position is much higher and closer to the wheel, so much so that I can't get into her seating position at all, whilst I usually have to extend the seat to the lowest point most distant from the steering wheel. Whilst I am shrinking with age, for years I had two seater sports cars because they gave me the necessary leg room to get comfortable. I now wont buy a car (Morgan excepted) without memory electric seats and the Morgan whilst cramped is not a real problem because the wife doesn't drive it from choice, too heavy steering and a manual box, so the drivers seat never moves once set up.
