If I could choose, I would definately recommend a vehicle that is higher off the ground. Not too high mind you. I have never driven a jeep cherokee but be careful you don't get something too big to handle. I personally, don't mind the larger vehicles... but if depth perception is a big problem for you than I would think about it more carefully. In any case, I would definately "suggest" darker interiors. gray, maroon, or something like that. Lighter colors will reflect the light that much more for you and that isn't really a good thing at all.

umm that's about all I got. I can't be of too much help since I pretty much had to just buy a car I could afford. Never mind all the stuff that would have been more helpful. but, I do have dark interior in my car and that is good. But I drove my friends van one time and decided I liked to be up a little higher because I could read the street signs better. :)

Good luck car shopping... I wish I could come hehe


: I should hopefully get my license in July. I will almost be 17 and my parents said they would help me get a car. But we were wondering what colors asre good for glare reduction and what shape the windsheild should be. (I thought they were all teh same shape but my dad said noso any advice would help) Also I have heard higher cars work best. Does andyone drive with a Jeep cherokee? How does that style of car work? Are there certain colors the interor should be? We would greatly appreciate any advice. Thanks
