You could have landed a plane on that hood!I used to have a late 80's Mercury Grand Marquis. You want to talk about a large hood
My ‘62 Chevy Impala, my ‘68 Cougar, dads ‘70 Cadillac only one that wasn’t huge was my ‘72 VW van, that had NO HOOD, scary.I used to have a late 80's Mercury Grand Marquis. You want to talk about a large hood
? Thoughts…what a waste of time
I had a 66 Plymouth v8 small block that you could almost stand with both feet on the ground between the engine and the fender well. In the hybrid maverick the only thing I have ever owned that had less room under the hood was a V6 PINTO!!. I did buy a 91 caprice once that a little lady had traded in with 240 miles on it and was told that she couldn't drive it because she had to look between the top of the steering wheel and hood and couldn't see any pavement. But in any case I have noticed in my hybrid maverick it is difficult to park in the garage with the passenger side closer than 8" from my work bench. I am thinking I need to hang a guide ball from the ceiling so I can touch the ball with my passenger door glass at 3" or so from my work bench.
That whole vehicle is longer than the MaverickI used to have a late 80's Mercury Grand Marquis. You want to talk about a large hood
What do you suggest? Grafting on a C-Max or Focus hood? You’d end with a truck more homely than the Santa Cruz!
I agree. It sounds like the OP is used to driving vans. My last daily was a 99 Ford E150 van, and you couldn't see the hood. My 2018 has a long nose. Any scoop on those hoods make it very difficult to see over. Especially since the windshield is short and it has a low seating position.
The seat is pretty low at the lowest height setting, but several people in this thread replied that the mirror is in their way, which might indicate they've got their seat too high. That height might be necessary to get the seat bottom at a comfortable angle, though, since the height adjustment is linked to the seat bottom angle...
Seems normal to me?
