S-Class W222: Driving Position Woes

The driving position isn't the best. At 181 cm, I can't adjust the seat to see the speedometer comfortably. The steering wheel blocks most essential gauges. I have to shift my gaze to check speed, outside temperature, or parking sensors. The speedometer should be on the right, tachometer on the left. It's a shame this can't be changed, especially in this class of car.

Pros: Luxurious interior
Cons: Poor driving position visibility, Obscured gauges by steering wheel
