Car seat height website?

Looking to get the measurement from floor to seat.

There's one for motorcycles Here so hopefully there is one for cars.

Think it's a bit of a non-starter, as surely every car these days has seats that move backwards and forwards and are height adjustable?

It's surely more critical for motorbikes, as the seating position is surely dictated to a great degree by the shape/size of the frame?

Yes but it's still relevant, a person used to driving an mpv might not like the driving position of a traditional saloon.

My predicament exactly stated above...my wife is used to an mpv and prefers the seat height but now wants a smaller car.
Some cars have a more upright position than others.

A ford fusion is a more of a sit up position than a fiesta.

Rather than try every single car on the market I would prefer to just search online within certain parameters then go look at only those cars that fit.

About the best I can suggest then is:
http://www.rica.org.uk/content/car-search

and tick the "High Seat" Easier to get in and out option.

Most of the results are still MPVs and 4x4s, although you do get the smaller crossovers like the Nissan Juke, Renault Captur etc.

Not sure what car your wife is coming form, but if happy with Ford, what about a B-Max?

Thanks for that.
Wife's coming from a 51 renault scenic (her 2nd one) which she loves but they're old now and the newer ones are terrible.
My budget is only around £2500 max.
Shes sat in a few Citroen C3s and likes those (no accounting for taste is there).

the mk2 fabias have quite a high seating position and would be getting into that price range now, not exactly glamorous and steering feedback is non existent but decent enough motors

Honda Jazz and Nissan Note fall into a similar category.

Both no nonsesnse little cars that offer quite a lot of space for their size and an upright driving position.

The old Focus C Max could be worth looking at if it's more of a C3 size of car she is after - though on reflection probably not really much smaller than a Scenic
