V90 CC - ok for shorter people?
 
Hi everyone,

I'm thinking of buying a V90 CC. My wife however is around 5'3, and not that confident with driving large cars. She did ok on the test drive, but I'm still worried that it might not work out.

I'm wondering if anyone has any experience which could help me decide whether someone of my wife's stature will enjoy driving the car?

Thanks for your help,

Suffolk

The seat has plenty of adjustment so she will find a comfortable position that allows her to see clearly.

It isn't an overly wide car but it is long. You might be better looking at a V60 CC if she is concerned about the length.

My wife is 5’3” and she does not have any problem driving my V90 CC, her only problem is reaching the door to close it when it is fully open!

Ive had shorter people drive mine, no problem. The only potential issue is if you have a version with the extending thigh bolster like I have, as even fully retracted, its quite long so shorter drivers have said they need to have the seat flat rather than inclined at the front.
