I tried driving my freind's 03 Corolla Altis J. I'm about 5.6 tall, but I kinda found it hard to see the front of the car. The J model does not have an adjustment to increase the height of the driver seat.

I'm not sure if it is just the illusion of the dash being on the bulky side as compared to other makes. But what I experienced was that I was sort of overwhelmed by the bigness of the dash. I felt like a smaller, shorter person. Parang I had this feeling that the dash was engulfing me.

Or baka naman sanayan lang yan???
