Hi all,

So i'm looking at getting an FR-S (still debating on manual or auto). My question is, how is the front passenger seat with short people? My gf is 5ft even, and can't see over the dash when riding in my current 2011 Miata/MX-5. or, is there a way to raise that seat up?

Thanks!

Pretty sure the passenger seat isn't height-adjustable.

i remember someone asking about buying a right hand drive driver seat that has height adjustment on it and installing it as a passenger seat a while ago.
i'm sure nothing came of it though it would be a cool idea if money was no object

with that said, my girlfriend is 5' and has never complained. It is actually way easier for her to see in this car than my last (97 mustang)

To add adjustable passenger seat meant purchasing an almost $10,000 "upgrade" to the interior.

put your gf in the frs and see if she can see.

Or get a taller gf.


Can she at least lean over into the driver seat? Thats the most important.

I wonder if you would need the seat or just the right-hand side rails? I took a quick look, and it appears it is the rails that handle this. I could be wrong though.



One of the deciding factors between the FR-S and the second choice on my list (Camaro) was the seat height. (Yea, I know, no one can see out of a Camaro). When MomHawk sat in a Camaro, she literally could not see over the dash on either side. To add adjustable passenger seat meant purchasing an almost $10,000 "upgrade" to the interior.
