Angry Why does the 1994 wagon feel SO LONG?

I had a Lexus IS250 then life took a turn for the worst and now I'm driving an old 1994 Accord station wagon.

Specs say it's 4.7 meters long, while the Lexus was 4.6. Yet, the wagon is so much more painful to park, despite the way better visibility behind. And it just seems so much longer when I walk by it, vs. other cars.

Why is that?

It's 0.1 m longer! seriously, perceptions are difficult to explain. Why does it appear the front end is close to hitting an obstruction as you pull into a parking space? I get out and I'm still 0.5 m clear !

good luck
