And don't even get me started on the NC Miatas in comparison to the first two gens. Same goes for Civics, Focuses... pretty much every car on the road. I guess manufacturers can't afford the bad press of reviewers pointing out if a car gets smaller between generations; easier to just move them further up the food chain (like how the Fiesta replaced the Focus as Ford's entry-level econobox).



Actually, I had joked with a girlfriend of mine that my dream girl would be one limber enough to get busy in a Miata, top up. To my surprise, she took me up on that challenge... and won.

Too bad her adventurous spirit and considerable talents didn't outweigh the bi-polarism and general bugfuck craziness. C'est la vie...

What did she win?

Yeah, sorry, but WAY too many answers I could give to that question, and very single one's too crude even for me.

Similar story.

Two pumps up from level 0 to get to a a comfortable height as I have a short torso but long limbs.

It's funny when the car is parked because the passenger headrest is clearly at a different level than the driver's.

Definitely can agree on the miata thing. Dear god those NA's are small, but so fun to drive! I had the most trouble getting my knees away from the steering wheel though. 6'2" and all legs. lol

Definitely agree dual climate control is unnecessary, unless you have a really picky passenger. -.- (in which case, find a new passenger!)

Dual Control climate for me is a life saver, my fiance loves to put the heater to full blast each time. Killed me in my impreza, but we have a literal desert and snow weather inside the BRZ. Also the heated seats for her makes up for the temperature differences
