Having a manual, I've gotten really comfortable sitting closer (as is typically needed to press the clutch fully and comfortably). In automatics I sit further back.

And the thing I have found with the Yaris is that sitting closer is still comfortable because of its high, upright seating position. On the other hand, sitting close in a low rider is very awkward.

I'm 6'1" and the steering wheel is fine while sitting a little closer than usual.

Even if you have an auto, try it. You will get used to it.

If there wasn't a large pocket and oversized dash design something in the way of my right leg, I could do it myself. But I find that every time I adjust myself my right knee smashes into the steering column, the center post, or the dash. There's plenty of space on the left side, but the marketeers seem to have decided on the look and feel (oouurrggchhh!!) of the right side and center post/column/whatever it's called.
