Does the console top slide forward? If seated close to steering wheel, console usable for arm rest?

10 and 2 is no longer encouraged because of the airbags. 9 and 3 are the recommended positions so that your hands fly to the side and not up towards your face. I learned this from "BRAKES" (https://putonthebrakes.org/about) when I took my son. Anyone with a teen absolutely should try to get into this course if you are lucky. The kids actually learn defensive driving techniques (like putting the car into a 540 spin and teaching them how to drive out of it safely)

Also, I bet 9 out of 10 folks in this forum are "adjusting their sideview mirrors incorrectly". It's insane how you can get a full 180 out the back when you set them up properly.
naw, I'm way too smart for that. 1st thing I do in any new car is pull the fuse for the airbags! I unplug the wiring for those annoying seat belt reminders chimes while I'm at it. Problem solved!

I know it sounds a little crazy, but I would honestly not consider purchasing it if my right elbow doesn't have something to rest on while driving.
good thing you didn't grow up driving before the mid 1970's when bench front seats were standard!
