What honda car are we talking about here?

Are you talking about the van? It has adjustable pedals.

What part of 2009 Honda 4 door EX do we not understand?????
Howard, we got the year, make, number of doors and the trim.
We did not get the car MODEL so we do not know if this was
accord, civic, fit or whatever other honda which comes in EX trim.
Do *you* understand now what we do not understand?

such a cushion exist?
Putting blocks on the pedals may be a better way of adapting the car,
since it would allow her to sit safely away from the airbag in the
steering wheel (short people are more likely to be injured by airbags
because they often sit too close to the steering wheel).

The other issue to consider is whether a short person can sit high
enough to see out of the car in all directions.

They probably have cars right at the dealer that you can sit in and
find out. Hell, they'll probably even let you take one out for a
drive, for no additional charge...

According to the sales person, he said that is the 2nd time he heard
of this. Apparently the power seats don't get as close to the pedals
as the non-power seats. Can anyone confirm this? I don't recall how
far her feet were from the pedals (she thinks one to two inches) so
rather than mess with modifying the seats which the salesperson said
they can do (I'm leery of this approach for the warrantee and perhaps
leakage depending how they do it), I was thinking of a cushion between
the seat and her back or one she sits on and supports her back. Does
such a cushion exist? Any suggestions aside from not getting the 4
door EX model?

get a taller wife?
Check out the Toyota Yaris: a friend who is 4'8" or 4'10" (very
short, in other words) is happily driving one now with no
modifications that I'm aware of.
