Default Mazda 2 sport is too small!

Hi everyone!

I've just bought a Mazda 2 sport, I love it, but unfortunately I've discovered my boyfriend can't drive it as he's slightly too tall! I was wondering if there's any way to adjust the steering wheel or height of the seat to help?

Any help would be appreciated!

Thanks, xxx

Sorry I didn't see this sooner, PP. Welcome to Mazdaforum and the greater Mazda family too!!
As for the seat adjustment... couldn't you just get a shorter bf? I know, have him take off his shoes and crouch down?

OK, seriously, I know a few ppl that have 2's now but am not familiar enough to truly answer your question.
At 6'1" I had the same problem with my old Civic. In that case I installed seats from an Accord coupe (junk yards can be GREAT places to shop. I LOVED those seats) that had longer seat travel. That solved my problem.
If you plan to stay with this man, you may need to look into different seats, a longer seat track or simply reinstall the seat further back on it's track. I would highly recommend professional assistance/advise, and a welder for this one though.
