I do wonder why it was decreed that the V70 would be given less leg room than the Mondeo, and I do wonder who decreed it.

I also note that this was addressed with the V90 post-Ford. Hmmm!
Yep, it seems a like a big blunder to me. I sat in the back of a Honda Jazz last week. No kidding, there was more leg room in the back of that than a V70. Go figure.

Don't get me wrong, the P3's are lovely cars, but rear leg room sucks for such a big vehicle. Taller/bigger people will struggle in the back of a P3. Disappointing for an executive saloon.
