I've moved everything!
It's amazing how many different seat positions/shapes you can achieve in a 4 hour driving duration......and still not find one that feels right. I've adjusted the steering wheel too.

I had a D2 Sport with Recaros for years, loved those seats and drove for hours without discomfort
My D3 seats are as good, if not better. Certainly more adjustability so can be fine tuned to the drivers needs  I'm 6' 7" so I struggle with "average" cars. The wife's TT is great to drive but the effort to get in and out makes it more of an ordeal than a pleasure. As for airplane seats Jim, you don't know how fortunate you are  I always book exit seats wherever possible, the comfort far outweighs the cost

At the shrimp size I live in (5' 5") I find A8s extremely comfortable for many hours. Driving to the Germany meet in 2018 the only thing that stopped me was the need for fuel and that at only 20 minutes to go.In December 2019 I drove to Luneburg, south of Hamburg and just the same though in a different and thirstier motor I had two fuel stops.
In both cases I left home at midnight, caught 06:30 train at Folkestone. Stayed in the car until arrival at destination except for the tanking.

Im about 5'11.
I sat in my D3 yesterday (which is sorn at the mo) and I think the foot rest on the left sits closer to the seat than the D4? In my D3 I could comfortably sit with my left foot (obviously) on it and feel my right leg/foot were in the ideal position. The D4 definitely feels different to me.
