If you were ever driven around in an "original" mini, that's roughly what it feels like, but you are a little higher off the road, (so to speak). you have to get used to being, (or so it seems), closer to the car in front than you are used to, (if in heavy traffic situations), but I found that I was giving a lot more space between me and the car in front than I was with the motor-home, not on purpose, but I couldn't "see" the bonnet, so allowed more space, but it was ideal in French towns and Supermarche's.
