marti12	I have a car with an adjustable accelerator pedal. Looking for a new car, I cannot find this feature. Any clues? I'm very short (4'10"). I have a car with an adjustable accelerator pedal and I just love this, I NEED this. But looking for a newer car, I can't find this feature. Does anyone know a make/model that offers this? Thanks for any help.

The Chrysler 300 has adjustable pedals. The Ford Taurus offers them as an option. I assume the manufacturers include the accelerator when they mention this feature.

That's all I see for sedans, coupes and hatchbacks, but I probably missed some. Lots of trucks offer adjustable pedals for obvious reasons - they are usually big vehicles.

You can buy pedal extenders to fit most cars. Just check on the internet for the vendors.
