No, once I’m in and sat the room under the wheel is OK as my feet are on the pedals which are at a normal height(?) floor, it’s only the part that comes out from under the seats that’s raised, then it slopes down to normal height/depth.
The only other gripe would be the height of the centre console, again it’s a lot higher than the Ateca and my left knee joint was knocking against it. To be fair it was the same in my previous Kuga and I just stuck a piece of padding to it with double sided tape 🙂
Please excuse spelling/typos. Apart from being a clot it turns out I had one on my cerebellum that's now causing various problems!
