It’s a great little car for anybody looking for their first. It has all the bells a whistles that you could probably think of too.

2021 Corolla SE, owned for 5 months. I am short, under 5 ft and the center navigation/stereo unit obstructs my view while driving because I can’t see around it or if something comes at you from the passenger side, such as a child, dog, bicyclist, r car (blind spot because of the stereo). (Not Safe) Toyota refuses to adjust or removing the stereo/ navigation with a smaller display. Claims this is the design, in my opinion an unsafe design. The center stereo/navigation unit catches the sun at specific times and becomes a blinding spot from the reflection, just an overall poor design to have this large obstruct in your face. (Not safe) I have a difficult time with a proper seat adjustment because the floor pedals are so far. When adjusting the seat closer it is not a safe distance from the steering wheel and airbag. This causes safety concerns because if it was to deploy I’m situated in an unsafe distance and will likely cause more damage to me. (Not safe) For tall people this might not be a problem, but it is for a short person living in a tall persons world. How is it in today’s society there isn’t reasonable accommodations for short people? The driver side lock buttons do not light up at night or have lights. This is a huge safety issue, as at a minimum one should be able to easily identify the locks for protection and safety. The door handles also obstruct the ability to navigate to the locks. I have found that it is not easy to locate the lock button in the car at night and fear I will be in a situation where that by not being able to see these buttons at night, might determine an outcome in a life or death situation, such as accident, carjacking, suspicious individuals, it’s just not safe at all. (not safe) Transmission has a slight shudder similar to the terrible Fords issue, when you pull out and accelerate there is a delay. Just waiting for the recall on this, it’s terrible. The usb connection is terrible, causes your phone to overheat. Noticed I’m not the only one whit this problem. Phone connection is awful and unusable, people on the other end can understand a word you say. Also another safety issue if responders can’t hear you. One positive is Toyota and affiliates are always tracking you, your muffled conversations and reporting your driving habits. Just not sure how much more I can take with this vehicle, impeding of freedom and ease dropping along with all the safety issues. Actually trying to sell it back to a dealership and pay the difference to be done with the vehicle. I will not by another Toyota because they are not short person friendly.

Poor design

I'm 4'11" so I slide the seat way up front and crank the seat way up high. After these adjustments, when I enter the car, I bang my head on the door frame because the door opening slants downward and I bang my knee on the bottom of the dash/main console because the dashboard/main console area is so low. I can't reach the seat belt easily because the seat belt is now too far back. And the buttons to operate the power windows are also too far back. I have to lift my elbow and shoulder to operate the window buttons. The rear passenger headrests are sewn to their seats, so are not removable. I'm the only one in the car, and I am not happy that I can't remove the rear headrests for better visibility. Also, I can't see the hood of the car and therefore I park crooked, not in the stall all the way or sometimes park too far in. Also, the knob to adjust the light for the speedometer is way down at the bottom edge of the dash/console--in the dark where you can't see it!
