Hi there,
This is usually a feature reserved for the top spec of a vehicle variant and most-likely in a European more luxury brand. Nothing immediately springs to mind as medium priced, but would require a fair bit of research. Mercedes-Benz is common for this function, not many vehicles have switched to electric steering wheel adjustment as yet, and so haven't incorporated this feature.

Thank you,
I agree that these features are normally associated with premium cars
and that's a pity. I am over 6 feet tall and my wife is under 5 feet.
You can imagine what a hassle it is for us to change drivers. So much
so that we rarely do it. It means that we should probably buy 2 cars when we have no other reason for doing so.

Hi there,
I feel your pain, I'm the same with my wife and our cars, my wife still drives with a cushion and I have the constant battle of adjustments before driving. We have two cars (not necessarily his/hers) and this just doubles the adjustments! :-)

Thanks,
My wife had a 1998 model Buick Park Avenue when she lived in the US.
This car was not so expensive and had all these features and more.
If the NZ authorities really wanted to see less cars on our roads,
they should submit this concern to the car importers, but I bet they don't.
