Well, if we are talking about tracked IFVs, I never had the feeling that for example in a Marder you have a particular good/wide view on the street.

Which makes those vehicles actually more accident prone. I've seen how the result looks like when two Marders drive on a dusty road (the second one following very closely) and the first one suddenly hits the breaks. Well, the exit ramp in the back which is meant to withstand mine blasts, bomblets and 20mm APDS rounds, was slightly displaced. Now looks aside... it would not have been too comfy in the passenger area of the Marder... since the door then occupied half of that area.
