Sorry about the lack of information. I was referring to an Accord. I
agree that the saleman may not have adjusted the seat correctly
because I too find it hard to believe a woman of 5'1" or 5'2" could
not reach the pedals. I thought most women are about 5'2" ???
I will definitely try it myself with her in the seat. thanks.
