Sorry, Balto I didn't mean to offend. My fiancé is 5'0" on a tall day and can see over the dash fine on most cars. With the cars you listed I'm surprised she has had trouble seeing since I thought Japanese cars were geared more toward the shorter demographic considering the average height of the people building/designing them. I can understand you mom's issue with large cars like the van but would have never guessed a Corolla would problematic.... I dont know about the new Foci but she should try an 00-07 one like mine because I feel like if I were in the same exact spot but in my old Saturn, I'd be sitting on the roof!
