stumbled across this today... consumerguideauto is a web site that rates
cars and they have a relatively low rating on the nc in terms of driver
comfort (well below the average rating for comfort for cars in the same
class)... so, it seems, i am not alone in my experience. yet, they do still
rate the car as an overall exceptional value in its class which is something
we can all agree on.

specifically they state...
Room/Comfort/Driver Seating (front)
Rating 3, Class Average 5.1 (out of possible 10)
Those over 6-ft tall may want more leg room and top-up head clearance. Those
under 5-ft-6 may have trouble seeing over high dashboard. Most occupants
will complain of intrusion from unpadded cupholder molded into front door
panels. Seats support well in turns, but seem thin on padding. Raising soft
top creates blind spots that hinder lane changes. Soft top lowers easily,
but can be awkward to raise while seated. Hardtop lowers at the touch of a
single button.

So whoever had mentioned their dislike for the cupholder, you are what they
would consider to be one of 'most' people in their survey that feel the same
way.

That would be me.

Not all of us, a car that's too uncomfortable to drive or ever consider
owning is hardly "an exceptional value in it's class".

I'm not likely to be looking for a replacement for my 1992 but if I do
the Mazda won't be considered unless there are some changes.

That's the problem with Hollywood. Makes everything look bigger than it
really is...
Maybe that's why the Prius is so popular out there. (just kidding - no
offense to any Prius owners.)

Whjy not? From my recent experience, they appear to be the worst drivers on the
road.
