OMNI/HORIZON - amazing you say, for a small car. One of our faculty here is taller than you, and has the same problem that you do with cars. He has two of these cars. 2. VOLVO - The drivers seat has much more range than the passenger seat, so don't judge by just riding in one. Also, when the seat is mounted on the track at the factory, it is located using a set of holes so that extremely short drivers can drive the car. (My 8 year old can reach the clutch and brake now.) There is another set of holes that allow the seat to be mounted further back on the track. The sets of holes are about 1 1/2 inches (4cm) apart, you need every inch you can get. The seat bottom tilts and the back reclines and you can adjust the amount of lumbar support.
