How so? Your picture pefectly illustrates my point! Every aspect of the display is perfectly visible.
I just don't get it, honestly. What are you talking about???
Now there's the German perfectionist in me that would call not adjusting your seat, steering wheel etc. to your needs irresponsible behaviour. Even if you don't have driver profiles in your car, adjusting seat and steering wheel seems less a hassle than dealing with the consequences of an accident.
German vs laid back California behavior? I don't always do it if it's a short trip. I definitely don't mess with the rear view mirror as that's manual. I move the seats, steering wheel, side mirrors just enough that I can use them, but I don't sit there fine tuning it like I do when setting up a memory profile. I just move my head to get a better angle. The gauge pod doesn't move. The steering wheel and seats move (and not all seats go up and down). That can lead to situations where you can't see the gauges because the rim of the steering wheel is in the way. Depending on your torso length, among other factors, some people have a harder time finding a good position that's comfortable yet allows great visibility. My wife and I have completely opposite torso/leg length ratios so when I use her car, it's just way too bothersome for me to adjust all her settings to find a great one for mine. I just move as little as possible because she'll just have to adjust it soon again.
