The top 10 worst vehicles for tall and short drivers

Sometimes you just can’t win.

Consumer Reports has released its Top 10 lists of worst vehicles for short and tall drivers among those recently tested, and four models managed to end up on both.

The Mazda MX-5 Miata and Toyota Tacoma, along with the similar Jeep Wrangler and Gladiator, were all found to be subpar for tiny and towering people after being evaluated by CR’s staff, which range from 5 feet, 1 inch to 6 feet, 2 inches in height.

CR writer Mike Quincy tells Fox News Autos the cars are scored on a variety of factors that include ease of entry, visibility and comfort.

Quincy said all of the vehicles suffered from a lack of seating adjustments, while the Mazda is difficult to climb down into and the trucks are hard to enter, even when equipped with factory sidesteps, which are mounted higher and closer to the body than ideal.

Ironically, the Miata, Wrangler and Gladiator can all be driven with open roofs providing an infinite amount of headroom for the tallest occupants.

The tall list also includes the Toyota Supra, Porsche 718 Boxster, Chevrolet Bolt, Hyundai Veloster, Polestar 2 and Honda Insight, while short drivers are warned to avoid Chevrolet Camaro, Mitsubishi Mirage, Chevrolet Colorado/Canyon, Ford F-150 and Nissan Titan.
