Which is weird because I was 5'3" most of my life - until I got my knees replaced. What with the new knees and no longer being bowlegged, I have been an inch taller since 2012! Same as you, until then my legs were short for my height since I have a long torso.

On the other hand my husband is about 6'2" with long legs for his height so I am comfortable with smaller cars than he is. On the other hand, I do love driving the Suburban, with its height advantage and loads of room. The Car Talk guys once recommended trucks for the altitudinally disadvantaged and I concur with their opinion!
