10 Best Cars for Tall or Short Drivers

If you're shorter or taller than average, some cars can be frustrating to drive. Most manufacturers target an average height of around 5 foot 9, but there are some vehicles that are geared better for tall or short drivers.

Consumer Reports this week released a list of the top 10 best and worst cars for tall and short drivers. They took into account seat comfort, driving position, access, and view out the window - as well as making sure the vehicle scored well in road tests and reliability.

The best cars for tall drivers are the BMW 7-Series and Audi Q7, while for short drivers, it's the Subaru Forester and BMW 7 Series. What's surprising is that some cars are highly versatile and are rated high by both tall and short drivers (see below for the full list)

As always, If you're shopping for a new car, I recommend you use TrueCar No Haggle and CarsDirect to quickly see what kind of deals are being offered in your area.
