My wife is about that height and she drove my car (once and only once) and she said she could see fine... just make sure you do some trial runs with some foam or something at the front of the car. Its hard to figure out where it is for me and I am 6'2", and she actually drove it into a curb (thus the only once thing).

My girlfriend is about 5'2" and seems to do alright when she drives mine, but I took her out in a BIG parking lot and sort of taught her how to drive the thing. So she had a chance to get use too. I'd say take the car into a big empty parking lot and get use to it before taking her on the road. Don't want to mess something that beautiful up!!

My woman is 5'2" and this is her car when she is in town. No issues other then the learning to drive the stick so we could take the car home.

My wife can drive, and fast too. She used to drive in Toronto when we lived there and she was a maniac. 140 Kph on the 401 (main highway) at 6 in the morning with a coffee in one hand and on the cell phone. Scared the crap out of me most mornings, good thing I only had to do it to and from the airport once a week. She got in my S and didn't even flinch... had to ask her twice to keep the revs down as it was being broken in.
