Honestly this is absurd. These death machines shouldn't be legal in europe. That thing doesn't even fit in the parking space, even though the parking lot has the biggest spaces in the whole city. The ~~Golf~~ Polo is so small in comparison, it could even hide in front of the engine hood of the truck.
EDIT: It's a Polo and not a Golf, I don't know my cars, sorry for that!
I mean... No. They do not. The car fits 4 tiny people.
I'm 6'4. I drove tiny sedans for years, for all the reasons you'd think.It was physically painful for me. I finally couldn't do it anymore. In no way would my tall family fit in that tiny car.
Are trucks way too big? Yes. Should public transport be easily accessible and prioritized? Absolutely. Is the seating in those vehicles the same. Not at all.
4 tiny people. Lmao like you are the average at 6'4. Get your head out of your behind.
There are small cars with higher roofs. But please elaborate why tall peoples' only way of transportation in cars is trucks :D
This is a weirdly common issue in this sub, people dismissing one person's issue or use case offhand, because it doesn't align with their preconceptions.
Most small cars don't have anywhere near the leg room of a big vehicle, especially with multiple occupants.
