Are Fiesta Titanium 5 doors okay for short (4'10") drivers?

Featured Replies

I've had 3 door Fiesta Titaniums and they're perfect for my height, as the driver's seats are super adjustable. Are the driver's seats of the 5 door version as adjustable as the 3 door version?



They are only really suitable for drivers who are at least 4' 101/2" Could you perhaps just wear thicker socks ? 🤣

 

The seats have the same adjustment as the 3 door version (they just don't tilt) so you should find the car exactly the same to drive. Extra bonus you'll find the drivers door easier to close when you're sat in the seat as it's shorter on the 5 door version.

Thank you so much for your advice, that a huge help to me.

My wife and I are not the tallest people around - we've had both 3 and 5 door Fiestas and find 5 more practical.

Other benefits: it's easier to reach back for the seatbelt, easier to open the door in confined spaces, easier to load.

Slight downsides: bit pricier (we are from Yorkshire after all😀) and some people regard the 3 door as "sportier". Ford removed the choice anyway towards the end.

No problem, just pleased you think the thicker socks will work 😉

They are exactly the same seats with the same level of adjustment

Just the three door seats have a tilt mechanism on them

You will find the 5 door more practical as the seat belt will be easier to grab on the B-Post
