Referring to the first post, is it true that American cars and generally not made for short people? If so, it's not just the Fiesta. My parents have an extra car, a 2004 Chevy Impala, that I had to borrow recently. Man, I was terrified driving that thing. The seat couldn't be pulled as far forward as I'd like, so I felt like I was sitting a mile away from the pedals and from the steering wheel. I could barely see over the dashboard, and switching lanes on the interstate was very freaky. I am just under 5' tall. I feel like a Yaris is the perfect car for me. Its high ride height and the positioning of the pedals and the steering wheel is perfectly designed for short people.
Several people mentioned the Versa. Last year, I had a Versa sedan as my rental when I visited Colorado. That thing had more power than I expected, as I had no trouble climbing the mountains. The only thing I didn't like about it, though, is that is wasn't all that fun to drive. It felt like I was driving a big, heavy car. I'm not sure why, but that's just how it felt to me when I drove it.
