In addition, the rearview mirror completely blocks an essential part of my view to the road. It is mounted too low for my height. I tried many new cars and it’s everywhere the same problem. Of course, I could lower the seat, but then my long legs require me to move further back while my arms are too short to still reach the steering wheel, even in its most outward position. So I resorted to remove the rearview mirror, which is allowed if the rear window is blind.

- xenonite 3y agoYes, I remember that article well; thanks for the link. This resonates well with me. I guess its due to “safety” optimization and a trend to aerodynamic, smaller windows. Also, the roof needs to support a much higher car weight in case of an accident, requiring more sturdy structures. I don’t know. But I am not the only one: https://tall.life/best-cars-for-tall-people/ https://tall.life/best-cars-for-tall-people/
