    Hello all.i am looking to buy a used car but my problem is i am 196 cm tall and usually there is no space behind me.i have 2 kids-one sits in a booster which is fine and 1 year old sits in car seat behind me.when he grows up a bit his feet wont fit(as was the case with 4 year old).i own octavia 2001 1.6l petrol atm.was looking at superb 2008 older model but hard to find nice specs.friend of mine is looking for one for me in nothern ireland as well but so far very limited options.u cant find many online in NI either.budget would be around 9-10 k.and was looking for diesel as its economical but just realised that i mainly do town driving and not many miles so i should go for petrol i guess.was looking at s-max as well but kinda too big.what would be best engine size?at the same time trying to save on road tax if possible.paying 440 euros on skoda atm.so many nice cars out there but i need space behind my seat!!!damn.totally lost here.

    VW Passat Highline? Very nice interior (leather seats etc.) and spacious I think.
    Tax about 390 so not a great saving there.

    Some are very basic on the interior but the Highline is very nice. I like the cream leather (not the one with lines through it).
