I recently accidentally moved my seat waaaay up without realizing it when I was cleaning my car. I spent a week worrying about my weight because suddenly the seat belt seemed to have a lot less slack, and my stomach seemed closer to the wheel. Went to weigh myself an no increase.
when I figured out what I had done I laughed at myself for a solid 10 minutes

Try your favorite image search engine and query "manual seat height adjustment" and you'll find dozens of brands that have this. Most use a lever that you pump up or down to adjust the height. Some use a dial.

I used to have a Neon many years ago that had the up-and-down adjustments for the seats - and it was all manual. You just turned a knob on the side at the base of the lever that allowed you to recline.
EDIT: It was still a tight fit for tall folks, though. In that particular car, the adjustment mostly helped short folks see better.
My mercedes has manual seats and it can go up and down, its got like a pump lever on the side.
> (up & down, didn't see a single car with manual adjustment that allowed this),
My 2010 Kia Soul has manual seats that can go up and down.
Although when the Kia Soul was first introduced, Kia threw almost every feature they could in it to win market share!
Adjustable tightness of part of the seat above your hips which keeps you better in tight/fast curves. Heating for cold starts. Massage for luxury. My BMW has it all apart from massage and its makes longer drives much more pleasant.
