Too short to drive a Gen 6?

My S.O. is 5 ft. even, 4' 12" if you will. I'm trying to convince her to learn how to drive my M6 so that in an emergency, she could drive it. She has sat in the seat and said that she can't push the clutch pedal all the way to the floor, so no sense learning to drive a stick.

Anyone have experience with this, or at least some tips?

Adjusting the seat position should work. My wife is 5.3 and but drives an SS A8.

My g/f is not good with a manual car at all. For emergencies, I've already confirmed she has the Uber app.

I mean the seat goes pretty far forward. My girlfriend refuses to drive my car though she 5' 2" shes afraid of the car.. Probably because of the power leap from her 4 cylinder RSX to my 8 cylinder LT1... Not sure but she refuses.

LOL This is going to be interesting since my gf is 4'11" and I finally convinced her to drive it round the block next weekend for the same reason. Is your S.O. able to reach gas and brake pedal? (Mine is an A8)

Oh man, had the same talk but havn't had her got in yet!! My girlfriend is 5'0 flat.. she really, really wants to drive my car but the problem it's an M6. So if your S.O. can't push the clutch to the floor, neither can my girl.

Such a bummer.. I think the shortest is 5'3 to drive an M6 comfortably.
