Ah. So you DIDN'T quote these exact figures, because you ignored them.

No, I didn't ignore them. *You* mentioned extra hip room but said nothing
about it only being in the back.

It amuses me how people get upset over a poofteenth quantity of space
that would fill up if a bear crapped in it.
There is stuff you won't fit in _any_ car of any type. And people

Let's take it a bit farther and suppose I bought a scooter for fifteen

Having driven both cars on numerous occasions I'm struggling to imagine a
valid scenario here.
