minimum hight to pilot elise !

[rixge]

must say thats this is a great and welcome site,to read and digest,the varoius problems and solutions that elise owners find. In the next few weeks i hope to be in the position to find a 111s gracing my driveway! Only problem i may have is the wife ! NO,not that way....she will drive it day to day,she is only five foot three, will she reach the pedals ?

[Lois]

I'm 5'1 and have been told I could probably reach! If not they can move the seat!

[rixge]

Thanks for that Lois, i gave her the good news and she grunted! thanks indeed..... And before you lot start posting pictures of Glitter's heels and Tranny's handbags , i have now read previous posts and bow my head sniveling !

I'm 5'2" and have no probs driving either an S1 or S2

I understand that you can swap the seat runners round and that will buy another couple of inches

[rixge]

So where are the handbags then ! you lot dont miss a trick........i guess the real question is i'm six four, will i fit in with the hard top in place ? bet you got no pics to reflect that one !

I think it depends a lot on how "bulky" you are, I have a mate who is 6 "4 but cant get in and out of my car atall cos hes about 20stone!

Its not height, its leg length thats important. I'm only 5'4" but have short legs and the clutch is a big stretch.

I only ask the question as my lovely lady sat in a VX220 spit spit, and had a big problem reaching the loud peddle ! there are ways round this as the blue glitter shoes shows, so im not too bothered, i can reach tee hee !

My other half is 5ft and can just about drive my S2 in a pair of trainers.
However a bolster seat from Lotus has made things a lot easier for her, also better visibility as lifts her up by a couple of inches too
