Seat Height Of 'old' Avensis

[camdave]

Hi All

I'm trying to find out the maximum height of the drivers seat on the 'old' Avensis hatchback/estate i.e before the current 2009 version.I could go round the dealers with a ruler but thought I would see if anyone on the forum could help first.

My Mazda Premacy and nearly new Auris measure approx. 580 mm from the ground to the leading edge of the front seat when it is set in its highest position. I am asking as I am trying to draw up a short list of cars to replace the Premacy and need high-set seats. (the Verso is already on my list)

As an aside, why do manufacturers never give this information - yes I know you can go to a dealer and sit in the car but it would be helpful if this was in the brochures.
