    The golf? Don't get a peugeot 106, they're very cramped.

    The Opel Corsa was good enough for me (6'4")

    I have a Citroen C3 and the first thing people comment on when they get in is the space in the front. The roof is very high inside and also loads of leg room!
    The Fiat Punto is also good for tall people! I have both of these cars is you want to try em out ;)

    The newer Renault Clios (ie 98 onwards) have good headroom.

    The new fiat panda is quite cheap and cheerful. It has a very large amount of headroom and leg room in the front.

    Hows that?




    From a quick glance through the thread it would seem that EVERY small car is the best small car for tall people. :)

    cause you get 2" extra inches of headroom with all those mechanical parts missing.

    Saw a bloke of 6' 2" easily fit into new Micra, with plenty of room to spare.

    Depends on Torso vs leg length also, different cars will support one or the other, but not both.

    Good.

    Name me a better new car for the price. Only the 1.2 Fabia comes close, and it's not as well packaged, as economical, as quick or as cheap to run.

    €14k list for the 1.25 multijet diesel. Probably the best under 1.5 diesel in the world

    And you should be too. Did you not recently discover the benefits of a modern diesel yourself albeit not common rail? ;)
