Default Driver Height

All, the C8 has been out for the lucky few, some have even hit the 2nd oil change. I figure by this time you have let your significant other, kids, etc. drive the car around the block. We've see alot of input on the tallest driver to be able to sit in the C8 Coupe comfortably, how about the shortest? Was wondering if my wife can drive it, if she'll be comfortable. She's 5'3" , thanks for the heads up guys.

Seems that the knee room is lacking.

Impossible to get second leg in! Only design flaw I have found so far.
