Help with short legs

Driving my first Subaru and I love it…except
I have short legs and the seat cuts me off behind my knees. I know some models allow you to extend or retract a section of the seat in the front but mine won’t and is permanently extended. It makes driving awful! Even an hour is tough. I’m debating trading it in that’s how much it sucks. Before I do, anyone else have the same issue and found a solution they love? A cushion? New seat? Anything?

Pedal extensions, for safety reasons they should be installed by a shop unless you trust yourself enough. Replaces the factory pedals with ones that come further toward the seat.

If you have power seat it may have separate front and rear adjustments. Raising just the rear section may help with how the seat can dig into the back of your thighs. Next would be a cushion and last would be pedal extenders.
