Heya,

I'm seriously thinking of buying a nice shiny Z, but just have some concerns about whether or not my wife will be tall enough to drive it - she's only 5 foot tall. Are there any other short drivers on here who could comment, or how far forward does the seat go?

She sat in one today and liked it, but never thought to check the obvious! :)
 
i'm a shorty, have no problems at all, 5'2"

i have electric seats and could get closer to wheel if i needed to, think she will be fine
 
welcome and happy hunting...

the only way you will know for sure is to go for a few test drives :driving:

Can't imagine it being a problem though :D
 
My little 5'2 gf can drive the car with no problems, the steering wheel is quite low so she doesnt even need to raise the seat. And the memory seats are very useful, so i dont whack my knees when getting in!
 
Hi, and howdy do. I'm 5'7" and I can jam the seat way too far forward so I'm sure that she'll fit OK. Just make sure you have memory seats :D :D
 
I picked one up last week - my wife is 5'2" and
She has not yet driven it cos of the snow and ice and was away last week but is a bit nervy due t the size of the bonnet
That said I am positive that there will not be an issue because the seat can be adjusted so high and forwards and the wheel can be adjusted a long way for tilt and rake
She could drive the lotus elise and in that the seat didnt adjust at all save for forwards and back
Go for it!
