mawby Posted April 10, 2007 Share Posted April 10, 2007 My fiancée is also "vertically challeneged" as you put it - she had no trouble driving the Supra when she had one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chilly Posted April 10, 2007 Share Posted April 10, 2007 Its a Japanese car so made perfectly for small people. The drivers seat raises and goes forward as does the steering wheel. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
R3DG3CKO ROB Posted April 10, 2007 Share Posted April 10, 2007 bare in mind it was designed by the Japanese - {edit: doh... beat me to it } Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JustGav Posted April 10, 2007 Share Posted April 10, 2007 I'm a short arse.... I've got the recaro seats which seem to sit a little lower as well, and I get tons of abuse from friends and family... Whatever you do, don't leave a booster seat on the drivers seat when you are working on the car, I've still not heard the end of it....

You should be fine. My wife's NA Supra went to a member on here (Linda, AKA Turbonut). Linda is pretty short as well and she seem's fine with it. Good luck getting one anyway Mark Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Havard Posted April 10, 2007 Share Posted April 10, 2007 My wife is 5ft 1" and she has not driven the Supe yet but she reckons she'll be ok after having a sit in the drivers seat and playing with the controls. She was previously a test pilot for Airfix so you should be ok!! H. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cheekymonkey Posted April 10, 2007 Share Posted April 10, 2007 Also worth pointing out I am 6'5 and I too have no problems - have more legroom that in most cars in fact - just don't ask me to sit in the back! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gerry Posted April 10, 2007 Share Posted April 10, 2007 Soo drives the car daily and is 5'2", can easily see and can easily handle the car. Take no notice of the few macho blokes out there who say it's a "mans car" - it's just a GREAT car .. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
