The visors are tiny, but I find them sufficient for the majority of the time. I'm 5'10" and have the seat slid about as far back as it goes. When my wife or daughter sit in the passenger seat, however, the visor doesn't do them much good.

Is it possible to swing them to the side? I never tried

Let me join the hate train!

Visors are pretty but little else.

What's with that mirror? it's useless. not even lit! $25k cars have this.
Doesn't pivot to the sides or extend
Is short

I wish I could move the seat up but there's no height adjustment on the seats!

The passenger seat (in US market vehicles) doesn't have height adjustment due to the airbag occupancy sensor, but the driver side definitely does.

Yes, the biggest issue is not me but my short girlfriend...

I have ridden as a passenger in my Vantage and all the ergonomics are wrong, the seat has to be pulled all the way to the back because of the shorter footwell, so the armrests don't really work anymore, making is fairly uncomfortable. Lucky for me, I'm rarely in the passenger seat.

LOL...

Maybe there's still a reason for a phonebook ;-) you just have to figure out which city gives the right height adjustment. And if you wrap it in a matching color it would actually look like it was an accessory.
