My mother drove a VW beetle for years, and she was very short. To solve the problem of the feet not meeting the pedals, my dad simply moved the seat mounts forward around 20cm, using a block of wood and new holes ( with appropriate steel bracing under the pan to spread the load to the chassis) for the seat mounts, so he could also drive the car by moving the seat all the way back. then, to see out the windscreen, mom simply used a big firm foam cushion to lift her above the steering wheel, while still touching the pedals.
Later on she changed to a Renault 5, and this car suited her perfectly, even if she did drive for over a year on a single tank of fuel, and it had a rattle my dad could never locate, even after he had the entire interior and dashboard of the car, aside from the crate he was sitting on to drive, sitting in the garage. that did annoy him, as he was an automotive engineer, and should have been able to find such a small thing. Eventually he took it as the actual metalwork simply having a resonance at certain speeds.
