I too like to sit quite low - I'm 6' 1" - but I have my drivers side seat at the height where I can just [comfortably] see the front hood. That not only provides me with excellent front vision and visibility but also the benefit of glancing at the beautiful hood (to some small, but meaningful, extent).

And even without the backup camera - which I utilize sparingly (if at all) - I've had great success parking in some pretty sticky (tight) situations without much trouble.

 

Brilliant! (Why didn't I think of that?) We'll see if I can remember that in 2 months when it comes out of storage. Although the way it's snowing here, could be July...
