Ok, I haven't bought a car in awhile but recently I purchased a new '13 Mustang. I've owned 2 other Mustangs in the past. This is a good car,but my least favorite of the 3. I figured out why, it is the dang "beltline" being to high and the small windows. I just don't feel right in it. Like I am a Lilliputian.

Almost all the new cars are getting the gansta bling wheel look now. For those who drive on of these high beltline cars, will I ever get to like the interior feel?

I’ve often wondered in an emergency how easy it would be to get out of one of those cars with the tiny windows.

Try driving a tank (or a submarine).

Yes, high-beltline bathtub cars (almost all of them) are for safety reasons.

The impossible-to-see corners and impossible-to-see-out-of rear windows are for aerodynamics. Everything on the road is going to be Prius-shaped. Rear view cams will be standard.
