Driving position - slightly offset?

Anything related to the Kizashi can go here, but please look at the other headings first. Your topic may fit better under something else.

This might be a strange question, but is the driver's seat slightly offset or slightly angled? I don't know if the curve of the dash away from the driver as it approaches the door creates an optical illusion, but I felt like I was sitting slightly twisted. As though the seat wasn't perpendicular to the wheel or maybe the wheel wasn't in the middle of the driver's seat.

erm...possible, I never check. I always put my one arm on the arm rest so hard for me to tell if the wheel is in the middle. You can move your seat as close to the steering wheel as possible, that way is easier to tell if the wheel is in the middle of your seat.

Are we talking LHD or RHD Kizashi's (I assume LHD?)

In my RHD, I find the handbrake being located on the LHS of the centre console is very awkward. I haven't noticed the actual driving position as a problem in relation to the steering wheel or pedals.

My body is cockeyed from previous crashes, so the Kisnatchie's driving position suits me Fine.
