    Though I have not been disappointed by the roominess and comfort of the
    driver's seat, I have not been able to adjust the position of the
    steering wheel or seat to fit my wife's stature (she is under 5 feet
    tall). In order to reach the pedals she sits with her chest almost
    touching the steering wheel and her elbows bent to grasp it. This
    worries me every time she takes the car because of the danger of injury
    if the airbag is deployed. Has anyone already tried a good solution to
    this problem, or recommend any modifications to the car?

    Have you considered pedal extenders?

    Yes, I'm open to the idea, but with so many different brands, it's
    difficult to know which works best at the most reasonable cost. Do you
    or anyone you know have first-hand experience with it?

    No, sorry, I have no first-hand experience. I got curious and did a Google
    search, and I see they're about $150. Maybe you can return them if they
    don't work out. They're supposed to be easy to attach and remove, without
    damaging the OEM.
