I had missed this earlier comment. I can confirm from own experience and tested in a new plus four, that the new hood mechanism intrudes too much into the interior to the extend that I have way more shoulder room in my 2009 Roadster than in the new CX platform, that was designed to give more interior space. The continious intusion into upper arm/shoulder is very uncomfortable, this aspect I consider a big design mistake, that needs correction. If not corrected interseted people will walk away.


The hood mechanism has been revised recently I believe to correct the arm / shoulder intrusion. One has to ask why this was not corrected during development? 🤔
