Seems I don't fit the s
Yeah I admit I am vertically challenged but I didn't notice how poorly I fit in the stook until I drove it for more than an hour.
If I move the seat up far enough to reach the pedals properly, I am too close to the steering wheel. If I am the correct distance away from steering wheel, I can't depress the clutch properly.
So.....what to do? Do they make some sort of extensions for the pedals? If so where would I pick them up in the Markham area.

ive got someone of the same issue. I can still depress the clutch but at the end im reaching a bit, and I love to sit up straight, I cant stand reclined at all. torso is too long for my body... im 5'9" and my head is way over the roll bar without a helmet on!
Ive got a ford ranger as well and everyone sits prefectly in it with my seating possition with a bit of head room. I sit in and my hair is allover the roof, looks like I was in a convertable when i get out..lol

You sound like someone I could be friends with. Any chance you'd be willing to jump out of a trunk and scare people at traffic lights?

Too funny....
The seat reclines too far back. I did try it.
A half notch would be perfect. And I don't think I have a long torso....I am short damnit, 5'1" when you round up.
The crx fits me better but even then, with the seat as far forward as possible, when I have gone to track schools etc, the instructors always ask if I can move the seat up more.
I did a search and found a list of worst cars for short people and the stook was on it!
