I meant 208 not 205. 205 is quite a lot smaller and such wheelbase would not be possible with it

Anyway one thing which ruins the feeling of the size is what Jack came with. It's the huge height of the bonnet. This is mainly result of pedestrian safety regulations. Simply the more space between the bonnet and the cylinder head the bigger chance the pedestrian's head won't get smashed. Similar thing came from side-impact crash tests. Windows got smaller, steel got more massive. And finally the third points is space. People sitting higher need less longitudinal space hence the cars get higher. The negative side of all of that is the look when even really big wheels look strangely small in the mass of steel around.
