I test drove a Polestar 2 yesterday with all of the packs (options) Pilot, Performance, Plus, Leather. Over all it was a very nice car and had performance similar to the Volvo XC 40 and C40 which I have also driven. After the test drive I decided that this is not the car for me. It was the small thing that were issues for me. I tended to bump my head on the roof line getting in and out of the drives seat. Once inside there was plenty of room. The arm rest on the door was to far away from me to be useful to me. I am 5'7' so on the shorter side. The arm rest on the center console was to far back so it was not of use and when I would set my arm there and the front of the arm rest which has a ridge would poke me in the back of the elbow. Also getting in and out of the back seat was awkward. I have friends in their 80's that I take around so this is a consideration for me as I want them to be comfortable. I also found the power seats to be finicky. especially the up and down movement of the base. Some times it would work and other times it wouldn't. These are all small things but I know over time they would bug me so its not the car for me. Guess I take another look at the Volvo c40
