Short Driver Issues
My girlfriend stands a mere 5' 0". I have not let here drive my new C6yet, and am wondering if I (we) should expect any problems with her being able to reach pedals (A6), see comfortablly over the stearing wheel, and generally with being able to handle driving the car. Any thoughts from anyone with a similar issue?

If there were adjustable pedals, my wife would be driving my 05 MN6...if she knew how to drive a manual trans.

My wife is 4' 11" and has no problem driving our C6, or our 2000 C5 before that (or going back even further, the black Z28 we used to have). Trust me - she can handle the C6 reeeeeeally well!

My wife is 5'2" and has no trouble at all. The seat height adjusts and the steering wheel tilts and telescopes...the C6 should be okay for a 5' person. Just don't ask her to remove the roof.
