I drive a 2001 Toyota MR2. My 7 yo step daughter is taller than the entire car. When I'm next to most vehicles, the top of my car is below their windows.

Even drive thrus I'm usually lower than the window.

I love my little car, it's more capable than people think. I can easily get all the groceries I need, I've picked people up from the airport with their luggage in it. (I have a luggage rack on the back.) But I am concerned about people seeing me and am wary of it.
