Mine is five foot even, and she drives a toyota truck and a subaru around just fine. She does not like the manual subaru and bought an automatic for herself, but the gas mileage isn't as good. That

My mom in law and I drove it around the suburbs the other day and it's good. Now I can't wait to get a driver's license to be able to drive it.

My soon-to-be wife would be driving on highways instead of city streets...I don't think I would trust one of those on the highway. :lol:

My wife (4ft 11inches) loves our Ford Escape. the height of the vehicle gives her a good view in traffic but it's not so large that she feels weird in it and everything adjusts to fit her comfortably.


Must have info for bringing your Philippine wife/fiancee's child to the US



A Good Example of why to NEVER use a Fixer in the Philippines

My fiancee is 4'9", so I'm thinking a small car will probably be the ticket. Since she has never driven a car before, I'm going to say a manual transmission is out of the question for her first car. :lol: Not that I think she couldn't drive it, but it would be better for her to focus on the basics of driving instead of having to deal with changing gears.

Chinook bombs around Seattle in a white 2007 Chevy Impala LT.

It's nearly as big as a Sherman tank. :jest:

She loves the eight-way adjustable power seats...they're heated! :thumbs:

I like the car's high crash-rating scores. :whistle:

against all that we must face in this world. ❤
