Legnums and short people

[jaygore]

Ok so i havent driven a legnum yet, and well im short!

And i know that in my celica i am very low, i mean i can always sit on cushions lol

But are there any other shorter guys who drive these or are they pretty well suited to the shorter bunch of the society haha

How tall are you exactly? My mum is about 5'2" and uses the ST-R as her everyday car. She does sit close to the wheel but doesn't have any vision or comfort issues and can reach the steering wheel and pedals fine.

The standard leather and cloth seats can be adjusted for height. The recaro's can't be however and they are quite low. I'm about 5'8" and haven't had any problems with them at all.

 

[jaygore]

well im about 5"4

so if it has the standard seats i should be fine then...

My other half drives mine with standard leather seats (in both)..... Shes about 150cm tall and has troubles with the high dash and the deep clutch in the manual. She also has difficulty with the a-pillar being a BAD blind spot.

Apart from that she loves driving it!!

 

[jaygore]

well im around 161cm tall so a gd 10 cms taller, wow your girl must be short haha

The only problem my mum has had with driving it is that she finds that with high heels on it is difficult to push the clutch down the whole way, which infuriated her when she was first driving it as she kept on crunching gears

Any of the members that have met her will vouch for that lol....

Hahaha..... I'm with a country chick, she probably doesnt know what high heels are! Thongs FTW!!!

Lol, are you talking about your girls underwear or footwear?

I find that being tall is more of an issue...I am 186cm and have to have the seat all the way back..I know when my girlfriend has been in the car as I cannot even sit down in it..

 

[pu-11-me]

Lol, are you talking about your girls underwear or footwear?

Lol.... I'll leave that to your imagination

 

[jaygore]

One of my girlfriends is 160cm (5"2) and she drove my car fine. I got her to run a few errands for me in the car and she was really happy with the comfort and seating. She said it was nice to drive.
So you'll be fine.

 

[jaygore]
