5 foot tall driver? OK Car for someone of this height?

lookin · 04-18-2006, 06:50 PM

I'm lookin for an S2K. Coming from a 1999 M Roadster. My wife however is short. She is 5 feet tall. Anybody out there around this height or know if the lack of a rising driver seat will hinder visibility too much?

My wife is a hair over 5', 5'1" maybe. She drove my S2000 once and doesn't recall any problems with visibility. I think she would have said something if she couldn't see over the dashboard.

Best way to check, take your wife along for the test drive.

Best Wishes,

You should be fine. My girlfriend is 4'11"-5' and she loves her S2000.

Go to a dealer - take a test drive
