I am 5.3 female and 'considering' a C5 Commemorative Vette. Question -- will I need a cushion to drive? Thanks.

Pounder

find one and sit in it (power seats) and run seat up and forward and find out yourself, 5.3 can be different person to person, longer legs as example ???

SaxyVette

You might, the seat does sit low. The window sill is pretty high. Get a cushion and drrive girl ..congrats!!!

If you do you will find it well worth it. Try to find one to sit in first.

I am 5'3" and have no trouble at all adjusting the seat to a perfect driving position for me.

This is Red in Red: my sister in my C5. She's 5'4", and a 737 Captain at Southwest Airlines. She runs mine just fine, 6-speed and all.

She drives her 1968 Corvette, 4-speed just fine.

Totally manageable. It's BIG long hood, which is difficult for ANYONE to get used to. But after 2 weeks you will be fine. GO FOR IT.

My wife is just under 5'-2", she says visibility is not great, but then she drives it maybe 2-3 times a year. As a DD, I'd take some test drives first (should always anyway!).

My GF is 5"1', and doesn't care for the seating position at all, the windshield and front end are too far away for comfort for her driving. I don't like anyone else driving my pace car anyway. She much prefers her Subaru Outback.

My gf hates my car too. To loud and smells like gas. She is 6' not that it matters lol.

Awesome!...go for it and don't worry about the seat. I'm 5'4" (female..lol) and have no problems at all with the seat and being able to see the HUD when I drive. The seats adjust both front to back and you can tip them forward if you need to...plus the steering wheel telescopes to help make everything just right!

I'm 4' even- in the waist.

Geez...how can a girl not love the rumble of a Borla in a Vette...and mine doesn't smell like gas..but even if it did, I wouldn't care.

Come on Cindy how many Girls buff out their Vette (car) and add Cool Wheels, Bla Bla Bla

...and then take it to a "go faster" autocross driving school, which is what I'm signed up for this weekend, and can't wait. I actually love doing detail work too. I regret not learning more about mechanics, but I think it's too late for me on that part...I don't even know enough to be dangerous, just what I learn on here (which is a lot). I guess fast cars are like horses, you either love them or you don't, but I'm a born adrenaline junkie, so it's right in my wheel house.

ps...and I decided to paint my own under hood liner. I'll do a picture afterwards.

Good advice to just go and sit in one and see how it feels. It could be that with some seat adjustments you will be just fine.

That will also give you a chance to check out if the seat controls work, as well as the memory feature and auto mode when getting in and out.

My bride often tells me the same thing. Too loud and smell like gas. Oh, we're talking the car...
