Howard, we got the year, make, number of doors and the trim.
We did not get the car MODEL so we do not know if this was
accord, civic, fit or whatever other honda which comes in EX trim.
Do *you* understand now what we do not understand?

Accord

Putting blocks on the pedals may be a better way of adapting the car,
since it would allow her to sit safely away from the airbag in the
steering wheel (short people are more likely to be injured by airbags
because they often sit too close to the steering wheel).

The other issue to consider is whether a short person can sit high
enough to see out of the car in all directions.

how do you access the usenet? are you using some misconfigured web forum?
And why there is no address or name in the "From" field of your messages?

They probably have cars right at the dealer that you can sit in and
find out. Hell, they'll probably even let you take one out for a
drive, for no additional charge...

Check out the Toyota Yaris: a friend who is 4'8" or 4'10" (very
short, in other words) is happily driving one now with no
modifications that I'm aware of.
