    Hi I am just over 6 feet tall and recently sold my focus and now use an older c class mercedes which I quite like. However I found the seating position in the foucs much higher and more comfortable. I am going to change again and am looking for suggestions.;)

    I find the Passats have loads of room in the front and back. Even with the seat all the way back there is still room for an average adult in the back.

    Also the previous model Superb is the same as the previous model Passat.

    Are you looking new or used? Budget?

    There are many cars. 6 ft 4 and dribving an ibiza. Don't even put the seat back the full way. Great little motor!

    6' 1 isn't particularly tall so there shouldn't be a problem with most cars.

    You'd fit fine in a Mini Cooper!!

    Thanks for your help lads , but agree that 6 1 isn't that tall, but I am getting a bit of back trouble at moment and that is where the enquiry comes from.
    Intend to buy something for around 3 to 4k .;)

    Im 6ft6,, I have always had back trouble in any car I have driven, I found my last car mazda 3 gave me plenty of leg room and headspace (my seat is always back and reclined though). I was able to adjust the steering columns hieght and reach as well which was handy (dont know whether this was specific to the MPS version or not).

    I have always had back trouble though, and have found a supportive cushion in the small of my back the best way to support it. Now Im driving a monaro, which isnt the best for headroom but my driving position doesnt have the seat as far back as it will go and the seats are so suppoortive, no cushion is neccesary.
