Modern cars in general are poor for visibility, ever more rakish windscreens with ever thicker A pillars meaning at any given horizon eyesight line the pillar thickness is much worse than on older designs, port hole back windows, ever narrower arrow slit side windows with fashionable darkened glass what there is of it, door mirrors that in some cases that would be better as make up mirrors in't wife's handbag.
Yes these new designs are stronger, arguably the less all round vision the more protection you need, Challenger tank standard if you take it to the obvious conclusion.
Visibility is a subjective thing, i cannot abide Audi TT's and similar designs, you might as well be driving a coffin and i wouldn't have one as a gift, but other people love them and obviously manage fine as they don't feature as daily write offs, each to their own.
If Ford B Max's become known for being covered in dents and scrapes and spend half their life at the bodyshop then it's likely they have a problem which will soon be refelected in punitive insurance premiums.
What the usual motoring magazines say about cars should be taken with a spadeful of salt.
