Thanks for recommending a Mazda 2 for my wife.

Thanks to your suggestion, my wife bought a new Mazda 2 last November, which is the best small car either of us has ever driven, and she was a Yaris convert until then. I totally agree with you that not only is it surprising but also very refreshing to know that these manufacturers have clearly put thought into seat thigh support as well as all the other essentials.

My point was that there are some surprises out there. Who would have expected a Mazda 2 and a FIAT 500 to be so comfortable on long runs?
