Short driver and FRS?
 

Hey everyone, looking for some input before I go to the dealers.

But I'm 5'3 and was wondering if there's any short driver that drives the FRS and how they feel about it. I like it, but I wanted to get an opinion from someone who drove it longer then a few miles lol

Thanks!

As long as your the driver, you're ok. My 4'11" wife can drive mine, but she hates the passenger seat.

I'm 5'10, I know that's not short, especially for a girl but my seat is usually all the way back and I still have bend in my leg when I drive, so I don't think you'll have problems there as the car is already super compact...and as for visibility you can always move your seat up vertically so I don't think you'll have issues there either considering the dash is fairly low as well. I actually think it's a car built for short people...the leg room isn't exactly ideal for me or my boyfriend who is about 6'1. Also this may help, but my mom's co-worker took it for a spin and he's about 5'2..he loved it and drives a Porsche comfortably so I would say you will be fine!

I'm 5'6" & it's completely fine. The drivers seat is height adjustable just as she ^ said. & the steering wheel is telescopic as well as height adjustable. Sitting in the passenger seat is the only time I feel quite low in the car.

I'm 5'3 and I fit perfectly!

I'd say that if your feet reach the pedals and you can see over the dash ...... you're good to go ....... :thumbup:

5'10'' and fine. I wonder how people taller make this work :/ long drives but shirt trips are no issues from what I've seen with friends.

I think you should be fine bruh.

I'm 5'5" (5'6" on my license) and no issues at all! Just got to adjust the height of the seat and the steering wheel, then viola!

Never really felt short before until I sat in the passenger's seat lol

hey I'm 5'6" and I fit in it perfect.

This is a world platform vehicle and as such it is well designed to meet the height requirements for the majority. Since the average world wide height for males is 5'8" and females is 5'4" (these numbers are often disputed but can't be far off) then there should be no issues for most people.

just test drive it, see how it feels after you tinker all the settings

I'm 5'3 - 4" and I am comfortable driving the car; it's something I worried about initially as well.

I do adjust the seat to be as tall as possible, and I pulled out the steering wheel a bit, but I think that is more of a personal comfort thing rather than due to my height specifically. I do keep the seat back a fair bit.

The only thing that I can't reach comfortably while driving is the foot rest, which isn't a big deal. Like others have said - go take one for a test drive, but make sure to take the time to adjust the seat et al before doing so, so you have an accurate idea of what you'd experience if you were driving your own vehicle.

GL!

As several others have said, I think you'll find that this car feels like it's made for you. My wife is 5'4" and she says the car fits her perfectly. The remarkable thing is that I'm 6'4" and say the same thing.

I personally like to drive fairly compact meaning I tend to like to be closer to the pedals (I'm 5'10) and I still have some space left to back the seat up, I assume for taller people it would just be to get used to a slightly more compact driving position.
