Height of drivers seat

Hey guys i am about 5'5-5'6. I plan on getting either an evo 8 or 9. Will I be able to see clearly the rode as I drive? I like to see the hood when I drive so with my height will I be able to see my hood? I dont need to see it like crazy but I just like to be able to atleast see my hood.

Hi. I'm 5'5" and drive an Evo IX. I can just see the hood and have no problem seeing the road in front of me. Lol. I have the stock Recaros. Best of luck on getting an Evo! You'll love it!

5'10" and I can barely see the hood. All I see is the raised portion before the hood vent. The hood is so short that you don't really see it.

Are you a chick or something?

phew, I'm glad someone beat me to the phonebook pic! It had to be mentioned, afterall.

A couple buddies of mine happen to be that height or shorter, one of which is known as Midgetspec. They don't get much shorter, in men's sizes anyway.
