peanut12 Posted March 9, 2008 Share Posted March 9, 2008 I'm a big bloke (6'5") and looking into what car to get when I replace my current one. I don't want a gas guzzler but I do like a high ride height and comfort and space(especially leg and head room) Does anyone have one/ any experience of one?

Cinnamon Posted March 9, 2008 Share Posted March 9, 2008 My Hubby is a big bloke too - he is 6ft 2. We recently traded our big old Merc for a brand new Fiat Panda, which he finds really comfortable to drive. I love it too - its a fab little car. He has oddles of head & leg room in it, & strangely its the only car we have ever had where he doesn't need to adjust the seat after little 5.4 me has been in it. The children actually have more room in the back for their long legs (they are both teenagers), & it is soooooooooo cheap to run I would recommend it to anyone.

Cinnamon Posted March 9, 2008 Share Posted March 9, 2008 Ours is really quite tall inside - its an Eleganza. As I said,Hubby has room to spare Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
craftyhunnypie Posted March 9, 2008 Share Posted March 9, 2008 We looked at a quashqai - they are nice. But we went for a Xtrail Arctix - 1.73 turbo diesel with intercooler , as we thought this better to pull our caravan & hubby liked a lot of the features. I have to say we are very very happy with it. It drives like a dream - has a great sized sunroof, is very comfortable & the side steps & roof rails are very snazzy! We went for black & it really is nice. Why not test drive a quashqai & an xtrail - before you decide? Emma.x Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cinnamon Posted March 10, 2008 Share Posted March 10, 2008 Hey,if its got a sunroof you shouldn't have any head height problems Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eyren Posted March 10, 2008 Share Posted March 10, 2008 My husband (5'11", does a lot of driving for his job as a publishing rep and needs loads of boot space for boxes of books) really really wanted one for his replacement company car, but they said it was too expensive He now has a Mondeo - boring but practical!
