This really hurts me to admit this but I agree with C. Marin.
The bulkheads and seat boxes are in the same location on the 88, 90, 109
& 110.
The difference between an 88 and 109 is that the 109 seat BACK can LEAN
farther rearwards providing more shoulder to top of steering wheel
distance and a head location farther rearward of the windscreen. The 109
two door's behind seat bulkhead is set farther to the rear than that of
an 88. I believe the 109 station wagon cross brace is as well.
So yes your arms are more stretched out, your head is farther away from
the windscreen and your hips are not bent as acutely (A tummy to leg
clearance issue with larger waist lines). But bottom line is that your
hips and feet are in the same relative locations in both 88s & 109s.
