I am 5'11" and have a 3" with no problems, my wife is 5'4", and she had no complaints. I dont see that you will have a problem.

I know someone who has a 4" on their car, so I sat in it before I bought mine. It seemed a bit awkward, but he has very low seats too. So I think my seats will make up for it. I don't like the look of the cowls that are less than 4", so I am dead set. But, everyone has their own likes & dislikes.
