Center console armrest too low

Milo & Miles

Is there anything that won't fit into this car?

I think it's the perfect height, but I'm 5'7. But from a variety of friends who have been in my car, both as passengers and guest drivers, they all agree that they love the height of the centre console -- and especially the placement of the gear lever.

So the problem is the everyone wants to drive with there right hand while still resting it on the arm rest? Lazy driving if you ask me.
this is the problem with Left Hand Drive, most people are right handed, your right hand has more dexterity, and yet people are out there not even using it.

I'm from a Right Hand Drive country, so the only thing for my right hand to do is steer.

I'm 6'1" and I find it pretty comfortable lol
Man you guys must have some strange-ass driving positions lol
From the looks of it seems we as humans are not "one fits all". Biologically different, some of us are tall with short arms others are short with long arms. Some sit straight up, others lay way back down or lean toward the center.
You can't blame the manufacturer that they did not customize the car just to fit YOU. :)
With that being said.
My VW jetta and passat has this cool function where the center armrest slides forward and back and had a ratcheting mechanism. Started from the low flat position and ratcheting up to about 25 degrees. When it reached the top it clicked and was able to push back to starting from flat again. It was awesome.

I find the center armrest comfortable....EXCEPT when slid back. Then my elbow falls off the edge, etc. So I keep it forward, and since I use the front cupholder for other stuff, that means "No Drinks In My Car". lol
