I've just tried one and found that the front seats were so high (with swivels added) that I had to stoop to see comfortably out the windscreen! I'm 5ft 11". And yes, I had adjusted the seat to the lowest position! This also meant that the rear view wing mirrors were ineffective. Before I look at any more Ford based vehicles (2009) is this normal? If so, I'll stick to Fiat (I think the gear stick feels better in a Fiat as well).

Dethleffs replace the ford seats, so shouldn't think it the norm. Our fortero hasnt got swivel seats for that very reason, I'm vertically challenged and was just able to reach the pedals, so a no no for the swivel.
