I'm only 4'8   and I have never had an issue with driving the VX.  Sometimes I use a big old cushion which helps a lot.

 

And diable the airbag as in the event of it going off, it will cause horrific damage

Air bag must be ok for seat fully forward? That's when your most likely to need it.

 

Its when you least need it as you wont have had time to accelerate towards the wheel

ETA   Are you the same Village Idiot as on PH?

Yup,,, that's me.... Been on there for donkeys years... And seloc too (although as Alex g on there).... I've only very recently branched out into ruffling feathers on the vx220 forum by innocently expressing an interest in buying a vx220 from a willing seller for a criminally low figure. I'm a witch... Burn me!

 

I can't; I sent my matches to the Dude with the mountain bike and PC steering wheel so I guess you are safe here.

My wife is 5'3" and manages to drive the VX ok Well let me rephrase that, she can reach the pedals ok!!!

What about a taller wife ?

My wife is 5ft 1 and thank god shes not allowed close!

Im 5ft 7 and I have the seat clicked quite far forward as the you need to stretch out to get the clutch all the way down

Trade her in for a taller wife

Guessing you've figured out the answer to your question now, but I'm 5'2 ish with little legs and the seat is as far forward as it goes but is comfy for everyday driving (and sat in traffic driving). A little unusual at first because of the non-adjustable back, but you get used to it.  It's a nicer seating position than the upright Scooby wagon I'm driving at the moment!

i have just sent my wife to have a sit in a VX220.

 

she says that she struggles to operate the pedals fully with the seat fully forwards. she is just under 5'3".

 

i am 6', so would need the seat fairly far back.

 

how easy it is adjust the position of the runners to bring the seat further forwards? i presume you cannot get longer runners to offer a greater range of movement?

 

cheers

Hi Alex,

Dan here (zed4 on PH and you may know me from BHG Marine in Lymington). I know you work (worked?) at Berthon. 

Let me know if you need to see a VX220, got a couple over at my dad's house in Ringwood. 

Dan

He's got one now Dan

So I see! I don't venture on here much!
