A whopping 5'0" here so I feel ya. I much prefer driving SUVs over cars. My first car was a grandfather-hand-me-down '97 Ford Explorer I got at 16, in '04. He had beat the crap out of it but I managed to squeeze out another four years out of it till we had to sell it for parts. I loved that thing though.haha that's the biggest thing I'm worried about. It sounds silly but it really does suck! I sit all the way up to my steering wheel and seat back completely straight and even still I have to like put my head up to see out my mirrors. I drove my friend's dodge I think avenger and oh my god it felt like a tank! AND I had to make shift a cushion to see over the steering wheel, but then I couldn't see my speedometer bc the steering wheel covered it up. short people problems
Next was a car that my dads friend was getting rid of, a Volvo something. Hated it. It was so much 'nicer' technically than my explorer, but I hated it. I had a seat cushion too to see over it. That lasted me a year before my mom got a new car, so I got her 04 Santa Fe. Loved that.
I had that beaut until about a week ago when I (finally) purchased my own car, a 2013 Honda CR-V. I absolutely love it, and the best feature? The drivers seat has a lever that raises it. No more seat cushion for me! I test drove a lot of cars/SUVs before finding this one, and the crv really just fits so well. My taller friends don't quite get what I mean when I say that but the short-driver struggle is real. And it's great on gas and was relatively cheap. I highly recommend testing the crv!
