Disappearing interior space of modern cars

[jtbo]

Has others had issues with this? As I'm tall and my shoulders are not smallest I have had very bad experiences with new S80, my head was touching roof/doorframe so had to sit bit sideways, also my shoulder touched window/pillar area, my not so big shoes did not have much of space either, was really horrible. Even with my ZX I have to keep seat backrest leaned backwards because otherwise my head would hit the roof and still I have trouble to see out as windshield connects to roof so low that sun visor is getting into way even in it's upright position, it is pretty useless for it's job too as I can't see road if I pull it down.

In 360 I have plenty of room, only issue is that my legs are touching steering wheel, need to put smaller steering wheel in.

Feeling like him with modern cars:

Nope, youre totally right! Modern cars are so full of thick interior door cards, huge dashboards cos of sloping windscreens etc...

A friend of mine has a new Focus ST.. probably about as wide as my S70, give or take... but in comparison the interior space is average!
