#51 of 160 Thanks for the cushion tip. by norrisj Aug 29, 2000 (12:11 pm)
I'll give it a shot to see if it makes a the Corolla more palatable. It's certainly worth $20 to find out. Thanks!
#52 of 160 instead of the corolla, Rav4 ? by rav8 Sep 04, 2000 (11:40 pm)
I'm not even 5' so for me the Rav4 is working perfectly. Good visibility, good seat adjustment for me and a 5'11" guy. I can finally put both feet on the floor and the seat hits me proportionally--doesn't hit me in the back of the leg. I tried several makes before deciding on this one. Of course, depends how much room you need too but if your checking out the corolla, I think maybe their close. Too bad the salesmen was a jerk--got another dealer close you could check out? Good luck and happy hunting!

The Rav4 sounds like another vehicle that can accommodate petite individuals... I guess it all depends on how much space you need in the particular vehicle and what fits in your budget..                      Kristina/co host Our Turn
#54 of 160 Subaru Forester? by kate5000 Sep 08, 2000 (1:40 pm)
I'm 5'3 and I feel very good in my Forester: visibility, leg support, etc.
#55 of 160 Hi,kate5000 by md_tech Sep 08, 2000 (11:03 pm)
Ever since Subaru came out with the Forester I liked the vehicle...My favorite color on the Forester is their dark green color... The only problem is Subaru really dosen't advertise much for their vehicles,so a lot of people don't realize they make some pretty nice cars,wagons,and Suv's... The commercial they do have I always enjoy because of " Crocodile Dundee" Do they have a memory function on your seats so you don't have to keep adjusting them???? What do you like best about your Forester???                     Kristina/co host Our Turn
#56 of 160 seat cushion by rsabaka Sep 18, 2000 (1:05 pm)
I have a 73 superbeetle that needs to have its seats restuffed and recovered. In the meantime, I've been using one the big stuffed seat cushions that I used on my dining room chairs and it works great...just a thought. Too bad your car didn't come with the 6-position seat adjustment. I drove a 97 F250 4X4 w/6-speed and it put me right where I needed to be to comfortably reach the clutch and still see over the steering wheel. I'm 5' too. Good luck.
#57 of 160 Hi, rsabaka by md_tech Sep 19, 2000 (2:21 am)
I used a telephone book when I first started driving my Daytona with the bucket seats. Eventually, I got tired of sliding off the seat and started using a pillow off the sofa....                       Kristina/co host Our Turn

Hello.. I found this page: http://www.pedalextenders.com/ and was wondering if anyone had tried any aftermarket extenders? Replies to this message: littlecar (Dec 26, 2004 10:57 pm)

#60 of 160 Big Car Needed for Small Woman by sheric Sep 27, 2000 (9:10 pm)
A friend is looking for a vehicle that will be comfortable for her to drive at 5'2", but is also suitable to take her family of 6 skiing. She says Ford Explorer is built too big for her to drive. Suggestions? Thanks!
