How tall is the shortest Chimp driver. I am 5ft 5 and remember trying out a early car. Barely enough pedal reach. Are the later cars better or should I stick with my S3 which I can clealy see over the dashboard of without a cushion!

Still if I was taller my trousers would be too short!!!

I'm sure you can modify a chimaera to suit your stature, i've known women of 5'3" drive them.
The biggest problem is rear view as the targa doesn't go far enough down, you need to be about 6'6" to get a really good rear view,

You can adjust the pedals, plus also the runners the seat(s) go on (ie to raise the seat). I even seen a TVR with park distance control fitted at the back for tricky parking.
