That has its own draw backs at least for me. Maybe because I am tall and long in the leg but I prefer a much more normal driving position. The upright van type position always ends up with pain in my ankles as you are doing more with your ankles whereas in a more normal car your leg is mostly doing the work. Especially as most cars have inverted pedal boxes.
So what you’re saying is, for you a certain type of car with a certain driving position doesn’t work for you and gives you pain?
Which highlights the whole point of my original post, different things for different people which is clearly articulated in your post!
For her he posture when sitting is part of it, but it’s not too dissimilar to the old Golf.
The big thing for her is getting in and out, as the seat is a lot lower than your bum is at standing height she has to stoop/bent down coupled with the twisting to get in.
With the additional height it’s more a case of stepping in without having to bend and contort.
We’ve had plenty of cars of all types to know what works and what doesn’t, saloons (3 series), estate (A4 Avant), plenty of hatches, couple of S2000s.
Other than the s2k which obviously feels like you’re sitting on the floor, both the 3 series and the A4 felt very low down to get and sit in, as you’ve said you’re bent more like an L shape rather than a ‘chair’ shape, having your legs out in front of you.
Sadly had to get rid of the S2000s largely because of this, as much fun as it is going out for a drive on my own it was a shame we couldn’t ever go out together in it. Second one was 5 years or so later hoping the back issues would’ve calmed down, sadly nope so it had to go
