I wouldn't call it a limitation it's more like performance gain, less weight

I think its great!! Since its a small car, it makes sense that a small person drives it, right?
...............
Now, there is an interesting thought. I weigh 215; some 115 pound petite female would reduce the overall weight of the car by nearly 4 percent relative to me. On a proportionate basis, that should translate to about 1/4 of a second in 0 - 60 time. Perhaps some of us larger, pot-bellied guys should drive around naked, purely to enhance performance. But then, we would also have to keep our tops up. But that enhances performance also, by reducing drag.

[B]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.

For the bigger guys like us, the answer is that absolutely, positively nothing is behind the driver's seat.
