TOP 10 BEST CARS FOR SHORTER MEN

#1: HONDA CIVIC

Our choice. Beautifully redesigned, the tenth generation Honda Civic Coupe has a modern and edgy exterior and small enough to fit in the tiniest parking spots. The coupe was discontinued in 2021, but the brand lives on. The four door version is thier most current compact model. Civic coupes of course can be found used.

The cabin is quite roomy and the seats aren't that far away from the pedals. Driving a Civic is fun. Selling one when you're ready is just as fun! One of the best things about Hondas is their resale value in the long term.

#2: VOLKSWAGEN GTI

A favorite of young professionals everywhere, the seventh generation Volkswagen GTI screams youth and ambition. Tiny enough to squeeze into the narrowest of driveways and cramped parking situations, its sleek design is eye catchy. Get your coupe while you can as the industry is shifting toward producing only four door models.

It's small size and rugged yet sleek low-profile appearance means it is great for urban exploration, cruising after-work while still in suit & tie or for the occasional road trip. The second row is roomy enough for your friends of all sizes.
 

#3. BMW 3/4 SERIES

The classic "baller" vehicle. The BMW 3 and 4 series cars are small enough that a modestly sized gentleman like yourself can reach either side of the cabin to get whatever you need. The 3 series is always a metropolitan favorite.

Fast enough to satisfy your speed demands (don't do it), and elegant enough to get the attention of anyone who is staring in your direction, if you can afford the maintenance, the "Beamer" 3 and 4-series are both absolutely worth it. There is a reason why Lloyd Banks put "Beamer" before "Benz" and "Bentley" in one of his most popular songs and why so many artists write songs about them.

#4. HONDA ACCORD

When in doubt, get a Honda Accord. Larger than those mentioned prior on this list, the seats are adjustable to the point where you can get right in front of the wheel and higher off the floor if you desire. The coupe version has a memorable profile.

The quintessential affordable vehicle, recent revamps give it a more modern quasi-luxurious appearance. In addition to it not splitting your wallet in half, the fact that it is so popular means that upkeep in the long term won't be that tough to swallow. My first car was a Honda Accord and I'll never forget how reliable it was.

#5. SUBARU FORESTER

Looks are subjective and from our perspective, the Subaru Forester might not win any awards for 'modern' style. However, where this crossover lacks in appearance, it makes up in conveniences for the shorter driver.

The seats are positioned in such a way that drivers have a better view through the windshield and surrounding windows, while distance from the car floor to the ground is short enough for easing entering and exiting. All-wheel-drive advanced driver assistance technology of course is also nice plus.

#6. NISSAN JUKE/KICKS

This crossover is the epitome of everything 2010s. To some, it stands out a bit too much. To others it's exactly what a car in between an SUV and a Sedan should look like. The Juke is small enough to fit where most SUVs won't. The Juke was discountinued in 2018 and lives on as the Nissan Kicks.

Some Nissan Juke Perks include great visibility and lots of storage room in the rear if you're not ferrying a lot of passengers. One big minus however are the anecdotes of not-so-stellar gas mileage on car forums where the Juke is a topic.
 

#7. LEXUS LC COUPE

Have a lot of cash? If money is no object, at almost $100K, the Lexus LC Coupe Hybrid deserves a look. In two-seat coupe fashion, you're dealing with distinct styling and a high price tag. With a bigger 471 horsepower engine with a 10 speed automatic transmission, the LC is fun to drive.

For shorter people who are well-to-do, the low set cabin makes getting in and out easier and it doesn't take much adjusting to get a nice view while feeling comfortable. 30 miles per gallon isn't anything to write home about, but decent for a car of this type (though not for the price!).

#8. GENESIS G90 SEDAN

Hyundai is relatively new to the luxury market and the price tag matches its target class. At $68,000, while the Hyundai Genesis G90 might be out of reach for many in terms of price, its conveniences make it an extremely comfortable ride, particularly for shorter individual.

Its seats are infinitely adjustable. Couple that with the big windshield, adjustable wheel and pedals and you can customize your G90 to create an extremely comfortable driving environment.
 

 #9. ACURA TLX

Acura is Honda's luxury line, but with the exception of its NSX, the pricing of their car-range is moderate. The Acura TLX, like it's MDX cousin features a 10 power adjustable seat as standard which makes for a comfortable ride whether you are tall or short.

The passenger seats in the rear suffer from cramped legroom, but if you're passengers aren't tall, this is a non-issue. Bluetooth, Siri-Hands-Free, Apple Car Play, Android Auto, Rear-View cameras and a lot of tech will remind you that we're in the 21st century. Like Hondas, Acuras hold their resale value for a long time.

#10. NISSAN 370Z

The 370 and it's predecessor, the 350 always gets a second look wherever it's parked. It's sloped front and chrome handles for many is absolute eye candy. It has an extremely low cabin and a smaller space which taller folk complain about but this of course is a neutral for shorter drivers. It's adjustable seats get you right on the steering wheel if you wish. The 370Z was discontinued in 2020, but the all new Nissan Z is carrying the torch.

It's a two-seater, so you won't be driving your entourage around, but with sleek styling and 350 horsepower, you might not care. 27 miles per gallon isn't stellar, but you're not buying this car because you want save on gas mileage.
