Careful Al, may try and rope you in for plasma dash, multifuel stove, airbags all around, de salinization water plant, sliding electric roof with solar panel, heads up graphic display, the list in my warped mind is endless.!!!!

New vans are great but they just ain't got no soul!

At 6'3" I don't find this a problem, but I don't have swivel bases fitted or seats with taller bases/cushions (like SAAB)

I'm 5 10 and I found it a pain with standard seats, I guess I like a lot of sky, that for me is part of the attraction of these vans the great big view with very little reflections on the cab glass- the subaru is rubbish for reflected dashboard on the screen in bright light and at night and then when you use the visors against the screen you lose half the view out. I sit very upright though by comparison with most peeps who seem to like to recline especially in cars, I've got a big pelvis and short arms so I have the seat a fair way back for leg room but upright for reach

I guess that I don't know much different with my van history...the syncro is a refreshing glasshouse in comparison to the blacked-out SA pimpwagon
