WHAT! i'm 5'5 and have no problem. hummm? only 1 inch? didnt think it made that big of a difference, and i still can move the seat up more forward.

 

Im 5'4 on a good day. I dont get any pain in my legs. You sure your seat is up far enough?

 

I'm 5'6". When I sit at a table with others I'm the same height, but when I stand up I'm considerably shorter. I have no trouble reaching the pedals.

 

Same here

 

get yourself some seats, they'll make it work

 

Are you having trouble reaching the pedals or are you having trouble seeing over the hood?

 

I'm 4'10" here. Personally, I adjust the seat so that I can comfortably reach the pedals (just close enough so that I can fully depress the clutch). Then I deal with the height issue with some sort of cushions. I may look for a more permanent solution in the future, but I didn't want to raise the seat back, rather just the seat bottom. I've seen purpose built wedge cushions for shorter drivers, but I found them to be very uncomfortable. Best of luck with the new ride.

 

wow thanks guys! didnt think this many people would reply haha. but okay ill probably get new seats or just try getting used to it. thanks again! :]

 

I'm 5.5.5 and I fit fine.

 

John, I'm attempting to post a few shots of my raised seat. After reading your post again, (and some of the responses). I'm not sure if my solution will help much. My issue was with seeing more of the road over the hood...sitting higher. Sounds like you're trying to get closer to the pedals (?). Anyway, hope you can get an idea of what I was trying to describe, from the pics. First pic is front of seat, other two are rear of seat. Don't hesitate to contact me if you have questions. Oh, again, at your own risk.
