Trade her in for a taller wife
well, a 75% deposit 
how about a seat inset like are made for go-karting? I always think that that must be better than a cushion.

Maybe then you can get a tillet seat and ask them to make the insert for you? everyone wins

like it! My wife is 5.2" she said to me 1mth before I bought the car 'what do you want one of them for'? & I replied I'm only looking love. When I bought it she fell out with me for a couple of days, bonus, now she's 1st in pass seat but won't let her drive it! That's the little boy in me, she didn't want me to get it, she don't want to drive it! End of, bonus. I enjoy driving again for the 1st time since 1997 when I sold Cav GSI 4X4. Advice, resist,resist! Unless it's what she really really wants?My wife is 5foot exactly and has never driven the car..... bonus in my eyes

My ex was (and probably still is 
) 5ft 1. After she stalled it twice on the drive we broke up.
Happy days

Batman cannot be an inch over 5 foot and he doesn't have any issues reaching the pedals.
Maybe there is something wrong with your runners?

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.
Hi Goose,
I don't think we've met. I think I might have bought your hardtop the chap robing your garage a little while back...

Got the car and have solved the problem by putting a couple of thing pillows in a pillow case behind her. As the car has drivers harnesses, the pillow doesn't get a chance to fall out.
She loves driving it, so success all round!

I think you can buy blocks for the pedals which are quite easy to fit
