Default short person driving s2k?

i know theres a lot of guys out there that are about 6foot tall having difficulty sitting in the S cuz your legs are too long or something...but how about those who are on the shorter scale...? s2k's seat won't go up or down!

S2000s are MADE for short people.

A friend of mine is 5'2" and she drives an S2000 daily. Her son is roughly the same height and he drives it as well.

i'm about 5'6 or 5'7 i think... i haven't bothered to check but i feel like i'm too tall for my car; like my head is too close to the soft top

i haven't had anyone take a pic of me while driving so i don't know for sure yet.

but i fit fine and it's a pretty comfortable car for me.

I met a "little person" once who drove an s2k. I don't know if it was modified for his height...I imagine it was...not the type of thing you ask though.
