I wear a 13, and drive my wife's NB miata all the time.
It isn't exactly roomy, and boots make it worse than normal shoes, but it is do-able.
On topic,
This seems like something that should be "buyer beware", and let it go at that.
The buyer was not forced to buy, or even keep the car, he shouldn't be able to have a claim on Volvo's income from their other consumers.
Companies don't just have stacks of money that they aren't using, they sell products, and this settlement drives up their expenses that customers pay when they buy the products.
This isn't a case of Volvo defrauding anyone, or coercing them. This guy was not entitled to anything aside from being able to re-sell the car to get one that fits him.
