The answer is not as simple as ..... 'My partner is 'x'ft tall and can drive anything..' The most informative answer I feel so far is that from RachIN76 who actually gives some statistics that may, or not, be similar to those of the o.p.
I have a similar problem, but at the other end of the spectrum. My wife is 5'3" and I am 6'3" but we both have the same inside leg measurement: 29". This leads to headroom problems for me whereas friends who are 6'8" can quite easily sit in a car that I cannot.
FYI, my wife has no real difficulty in driving most vehicles. Occasionally she complains of excess pedal travel (clutch mainly) on hire cars where she has to 'overstretch' but otherwise ok.
In our 1989 Defender where the seat moves backwards and forwards but has no height adjustment she is fine, but has the seat about as far forward as it will go (makes it very interesting when she neglects to return the seat to the furthest setting and I try to enter the vehicle).
In our D3, her problem is that as she has the drivers seat so far forward, the nearside mirror cannot rotate far enough inwards so that she can see the rear nearside corner of the vehicle. (The mirror has been examined and is, apparently, correctly set).
Other than that, she has encountered very few problems.
