That's why Light In Sight was invented. For $12, problem solved.

I have the exact same problem in my mom's Mini...

I am 6'5" with a very long torse. I have this problem with just about every car or truck I drive.

I'm 6 feet, but with short legs and a long torso I might as well be 6'3" when seated. I have this same problem in my wife's Jetta. When I'm the first car in line I need to duck down to see when the light changes.

Welcome to my world I am 5'10" and have this problem in almost every car I have ever driven. Long torso and I need to sit pretty upright

Well, MINI wants to have that upright windshield to make it look like an old MINI, so that's what you get when function follows form.

Probably removes some fuel economy, too.

HA! You are on Barbur Blvd taking a left on to SW Hamilton St. That used to be my commute everyday as I worked at the Mercedes Benz of Portland downtown. Hope you liked Portland as much as I enjoy living here.
