Who wants.to adjust the seat and mirrors every time they drive?
It's not a big deal. My SO and I are very different heights (like a foot/35cm), and it takes all of 10 seconds:
We do it like 2-3x/week, and as the taller person, I'm totally capable of doing the adjustments while driving out of the neighborhood. It's really a non-issue.
When I drive my girlfriend's SUV, I have to stand outside of it and work the controls until I've got enough room to get in. It's not awful, but does kind of suck on hot summer days when I just want to be in the air conditioning.
Our old (2006) minivan has an electronic adjustor, so I just hold that down while getting in (butt in seat, press button, swing legs). Our other car (2007 sedan) is even easier, since I just tap the adjustment bar under the seat and it slides back as I'm sitting on it (again, sideways). Then I adjust the shoulder seat-belt just before grabbing the belt to buckle, then I adjust the rear-view mirror while checking as I back up. It's pretty smooth and routine.
Our AC takes a while to turn on anyway, so I don't expect any AC until I'm at least a mile or so down the road. We park in the shade (garage at home and work), so I don't need the AC anyway when setting out.
