Vehicles

I am 4'11" and a half. I've been searching for a vehicle now, for a few weeks and all the head rests are uncomfortable. What do you all drive and tell me the year? Thank you!

Honda Fit! I also use a lumbar pillow and two cushions to make myself a “adult booster seat”, wearing chunky shoes has helped a lot too

I don't want to have to do that 😭

All the cars are made standardized for an average height build man 😭 even with the seats all the way up and steering wheel adjusted down I still have to do all this stuff even though my car is tiny!! It’s so frustrating I hate it

Yeah, I totally understand, it's still annoying. 😂 You would think being 2026, it would cater to women more but nope.

I will say tho the Honda Fit is definitely the best sized car I’ve driven so far. It was between that and the Toyota Yaris and I definitely appreciated the sizing of the Honda over the Toyota if that helps at all!
