I'm 6'3" (193cm) tall. I can lay down and use that trunk as a not terribly uncomfortable bed. That's how my first GF and I would go to various theme parks, and stay overnight for free. Just throw one of those foam "egg crate" mattress things in the back with a few blankets, and you're good to go.
There were engineering reasons for those decisions. The ignition on the floor was because they found that the starter worked better/best when the ignition was positioned next to the transmission column. I don't remember why the fan belts were there, but it may have had to do with the rotation of the engine block.

Best car I had.
They were awesome, but weird. Ignition between the seats? Fan belts by the firewall? Why the hell not
