Small cars for tall people

Does anyone know which 'small cars' are best suited to tall people?

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

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

Course you'll have to leave the roof down.

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.

Fiat Panda.

Suzuki Wagon R or Opel Agila, or something like a Jimny

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

Golf & New Mini,

Anything without a SUN ROOF.

Hows that?

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

AMurphy · 07-06-2005 10:56pm

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.

sandyg · 08-06-2005 8:03am

Which would also include 4 years warranty and 4 years AA membership!!!

€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?
