I think most of the design elements are designed for aerodynamics.

She raves about it. The only downside to it is that she has a ginormous car seat in the back, which requires the front passenger seat to be shoved way forward. It's a bummer for me when I ride with her because I'm 6'3", and it puts my knees right up against the dash.

Not really the car's fault.

Someday your grandchild will no longer need it, and you'll get your legroom back.

Hang in there, my dear Adsos Letter!
