    I agree with comfort. I just took an 850 mile trip in Speck and had no problems with comfort. I know seating is very subjective, but I like the Mirage seats very much.

    I also don't miss the center console / armrest as much as I thought I would. It's just another place to accumulate junk. I think the cupholder there is the best one in the car.

    I am sure glad I got cruise control. On that trip my right knee developed some discomfort after a while of operating the gas pedal - it was good to let the car manage speed. Plus, it lets me concentrate more on the road rather than the speedometer.

    @djkenny - Thanks for mentioning the better driving dynamics and materials of the Rio. I know (in rental trim) it doesn't have all the bells and whistles of a high trim Mirage, but it does drive better and the materials feel and look better, IMHO.
