I drive a 200/2006 Honda Fit and the shortest adult person to my memory LOVED my car (I had a date) and she herself said it would be a nice new car to have; she went on to inquire about it's milage and of course why a guy like me (6'0" feet tall) got the car...

Sidebar, I usually sit ON a seat cushion, but took it off for the first time in a while and realized how much space I had without it...

It's a good FIT.

 

My friend is 5' and she can't see over the dash, when ever she drives my car... she MAKES a booster seat out of jackets or a pillow she drags with her on our trips....


She can drive without it, but she always has to look OVER the dash... and it stresses her out.

 

My wife is 5' tall and says the Fit is just right for her... She test drove a GE but didn't like it as much as my GD and settled on a Subaru Forester because she had been driving a GMC pickup for over 13 years and liked the view sitting up higher. Pickups outnumber cars about 4 to 1 here and driving at night is hell because of the horrible after market lights the younger people have installed and improperly adjusted on those things.

 

Hi, thanks all for your answers and sugestions. I will let her drivefirst before to buy, I suspect she's already in love with the FIT because the confidence of about 8 years with her '96 civic, so I think it will be something like love at first sight or maybe at first drive, but love at least.
BTW, I'm from Santa Cruz de la Sierra, Bolivia (south america).

PD.: what meand GE and GD? a dealer maybe?

Thank you all again.

The first generation models are GD models and the cars presently being made and sold are GE models.

 

Do your seats have height adjustment in them?

 

I am 5'1'' and the FIT fits.

 

for you.

This thread has decided that the person should try the car first before deciding.

Since not every 5' person fits in the Fit.

 

try adding some spacers on the seat rails and that might help raise the seat up. and of course additional seat cushion will help as well.

 

Very true indeed!
