We're looking for a new vehicle

So my wife is in love with the Xterra. She is 4'11".

She has NEVER been able to see very well in any vehicle she's ever driven..station wagon, suv, car, etc.

Until she sat in the Xterra. Her grin was ear to ear.

And she sat farther away from the steering wheel in the Xterra than any other vehicle I've ever seen her drive, yet she had complete reach to the levers.

Can anyone explain why this is in the Xterra

we're really close to getting one, but I'm waffling because of the mileage and the fact that this will be the vehicle used for all long trips.

thanks
