    Google cars for tall drivers, then look in Bangernomics thread or the Baordsies car sales thread (top of forum)

    How tall is tall?

    I'm 6'2" (186 cm) and apart from a smart roadster or a MX5 I've managed to get comfortable in every car I've ever owned or driven (and that includes an original Mini).

    People sitting behind me might have problems, but driving has never been an issue in any sort of "normal" car.

    Unless you're really tall, I'd focus on best value for your small budget (long NCT, service history and all that) rather than chasing some supposedly tall-people car.

    I'm 6'5" and I can drive basically every mainstream small car except the Micra and the Auris comfortably

    My problem is not as pliable as I used to be. So a car with easy access,height wise. Thank's for the replies..

    Ford Fusion might be a good candidate.
    Lots of older people seem happy with them, so perhaps it might also do for a tall person :D
    Quite a few affordable ones on DoneDeal
