    Seat adjustment

    This is a bit of an unusual question - but my wife is 5'1" height and slim, I'm 6'3" and not slim - yet we haven't found a P38a car for sale in town for her to try and adjust the driver's seat. We checked a L322 and it was ok, but ....

    Has anyone found this range ok (reach, pedals and dash height - without cushions) for themselves, or for their partner's own experience, and whether the shorter adjustments could/would work for SWMBO.

    Thanks in anticipation.

    Gary.

    My step daughter stands just over 5' 2" (ex gymnist) and she loves driving the car as she can set the seat to suit her without the need for cushions or pedal extenders. Me, I'm a bit over 6'1" and have no trouble at all. I don't even need the seat back all the way as in most cars.

    Let her take one for a test drive, I'm sure she'll love it (once she gets over the size of the bonnet). But at least she'll be able to see all of the corners of the car when parking.

    Agree with Gary,
    but don't think the bonnet will be an issue, not close to size of Patrol or Cruiser one.

    My cousin is 6 foot 4 and fits fine, infact is not even all the way back.
    My wife who is 5 foot 2 has no problem either.

    Thanks all ...

    I haven't forgotten your comments, but I was a bit busy at the time with our Pulsar auto gearbox opened, again. My mistake that time.

    At the moment I'm having a look at a few RRs in Melbourne for a couple of days. If these aren't alright, there's several others in Sydney/Central Coast at the same time.

    It will take some time to learn this process as we haven't bought a newer car since 2001.
