Could Ford be..

Sued for discrimination against short people?

 

 

Yesterday I noticed that the visor didn't do anything for my mom when she was in the passenger seat. She is only 5'1" and since the passenger seat cant be raised and sits so low, that the visor didn't block the late evening sun, and she was practically blinded.

 

Something to think about, it is rather dumb idea to have a power seat that only moves back and forth, when prior years had full motion back, forth, up and down. It shouldn't be on the owner to have to modify the seat, especially in a $36K car, to gain a few inches of height.

 

This is somewhat tongue in cheek, but does give something to think about.

Oh great! Now you have given the Randy Newman Hate Club more ammunition! Just great! ;)

Well my wife is 5' 2", and has no problem with her position in the passenger seat or with the sun visor.

 

In my opinion these are the type of issues buyers should look at before purchasing a car, maybe some people wouldn't go through with the purchase if they knew the seat was low and not adjustable for height but others would knowing the issue and be willing to compromise. For others this is a non issue.

Agree about the ridiculous 2-way power seat when it should at least be available as an full power option.

 

You can get a sun visor extender to solve the visor issue though.

well at least the 10 way power passenger seat is available as an option with the cooled seats on the 14's. After next year maybe the option could be added by swapping out the chair base on the 13's?

It is just amazing how many of us grew up without any power seats or heated/cooled seats. Just saying. ;)

True, but then again, they also didnt sit so low to the floor unless you were in a tiny jap car. The seats were also the same height on both sides.

 

 

Like I said, tongue in cheek, but I would not be surprised if someone did just that. ;)

Please lets not give anyone ideas!

Perhaps the Chicago Yellow Pages would help her seating position. :)

It's amazing some of us have lasted this long, period.

As far as growing up - I refuse.

My wife agrees with you 100% Acdii, except we don't use the word "sue" in our family.

Could I then sue Mazda for descrimination against tall people? Every time I get onto the highway in my Miata I have to duck down or my hat will blow off.

Move along now, nothing to see here.

hey all of our family cars growing up had heated/cooled seats. Heated to vinyl melting temps in the summer, and cooled to ass frostbite temps in the winter.
