That last one is actually legitimate. My wife was rear ended twice at a red light. Her physiatrist, recommended she gets a slightly bigger car because it would change the angle of impact if it happens again. The lower more reclined angle could potentially kill her if she’s hit again.
She went from a car to a compact SUV. Small change, but she is now in a more upright seated position.
The vehicle size arms race. Large cars force other cars to become larger just to match their mass in an accident. Still doesn’t mean if you buy a large vehicle that you’re not making the problem worse
That’s really bad, sorry, yet that extra safety also makes it more unsafe to spot e.g. children crossing the street (better to have a higher tilt angle in that case)

I wouldn’t call a Honda HR-V large.
It’s ok, tramp is going to teach everyone about frugality, lol. They can eat military parades.

A Honda HR-V is not very big and has plenty of visibility.
