Good! I don't trust short people!
I'm also 6'2" and this is my first car with the accelerator mounted to the floor. I don't have any issues with it.

Yea I'm right there with you. It's taken a little while to get used to it but who cares. I love this car.

At 5'4", I'd be more concerned about steering wheel hub (air bag) to chest wall distance. When you are seated, use a ruler to see if you have at least about 10" from the surface of the air bag cover to your sternum. If not, check back here and we can discuss further.

One of the things I love about this car is the seating position. I have my seat set so my arms are extended with a slight bend at the elbow. I'm most comfortable with my seat bottom tilted toward the rear and my back slightly reclined with lumbar in the middle position. One of my funniest stories about cars and shorter people involves Wayne Carini (Chasing Classic Cars TV show). I've met him on several occasions at different events around New England and he is actually about an inch or two shorter than I am. I always joke with him about that.
