Headroom

chalky

I'm thinking about buying my first car. I want something small with a small engine (1l or 1.2l). preferably 5dr (not essential). I'm willing to spend up to €5k on it. The only thing is I'm very tall (over 6ft 6") and I'll need something with plenty of headroom. Any suggestions?

Nissan Micra seems to have decent headroom - I'm 6'4" and never felt I was in danger of brushing my hair!

I'm 6ft4 and had a Opel Corsa for years, no probs. Shop around and take a few different cars for test drives.

I'm around 6'5 and have never had trouble in my Hyundai Accent, yet I've had trouble in a Nissan X-Trail. I've also heard that Seat Ibiza are good for headroom, though I've never been in one.

Headroom and visibility for tall drivers in the renault clio is kak.

Thanks for those replies. Anyone know what the headroom is like in the punto?

Pretty decent, you should have no probs, but try it out first

Other tip: go for a car without a sunroof...
