Default driver height

What's the perfect height to drive this car confortably? Just curious, since it does not have any adjustable height in the seats.

I'm 5'4", which is a little short.
(I plan on bumping 5/8" with dlq04's big seat-rasing mod, & think that should make me pretty happy.)

5'-10" here. Seems like good fit; plenty of headroom, and everything else seems to fit as well.

6' 210 and this car fits me perfectly, like it was designed for me. I have about 5-6 inches of head room with the top up, and with the seat all the way back my arms and legs rest exactly how I like them. The steering wheel and shifter are also in the exact position I like. Have never had a better fit with so little adjusting. And I'm not being paid for this endorsement. Oh well.

5"11 works very well. Already mastered getting out of the car without using the car itself for support. Yoga helps too!

5'8" and fits just fine. It is tough to get in and out of though. Flexible girls definately have the advantage in getting in

5'10" but find it hard to get in and out.

I tend to lean against the outer edge of the seat in order to climb out of the deep Stook's sports seat.

One weird thing I noticed is that my height or leg length(?) seems to change from morning to night. Usually I am taller in the mornings

I hate adjusting my seat back and forth while I am driving!
