And I am 6'7", I cannot drive a 2001+ Volvo because of the rearview mirror placement, it is below eye level. The FWD cars prior to 2001 are great, so long as the driver seat is powered.

If your 740 had a manual seat, it had a manual height adjustment ala the older cars. The floor pan on the 7/900 cars is higher than the 850 platform and the roofline is about the same.

The 850/70 cars have a very comfortable front seat, probably the best Volvo ever had. But, you need it powered to get the most range, especially if you have other drivers.
