evo x seats and smaller drivers?

I can't find any info on this and still no time to test drive. I will be at the cle auto show soon to check this out in person but I'm just curious...

I'm 5'6 with a size 30 waist. All the reviews I watch on youtube are of larger guys.. are the seats adjustable at all? Anyone my size have one? I don't wanna look like a baby in a bucket seat yaknow

Im 5'5 1/2 with a size 32 waist. You can not move the seat up, only forward or backwards lol. I was concerned too when i brought the car since I was afraid i wasnt going to be able to see over the steering wheel hah. But its all good.

I think you would be fine in a Evo bud, I'm decently comfortable ..... All you can do is test drive and see how you feel personally.....

I'm even shorter man, it makes me have a bad blind spot and you kinda fit lower but nothing that's an issue. Just have to double check

A nice fluffy pillow works as well.
