Need Advice

kvijayk · 05-17-2002, 07:12 PM

I am searching for a car with lots of driver leg room.
Can any one suggest me some resonably low priced models.

are you looking for a SUV, van, or a sedan? car is a little bit too general.

Just few days back I moved to kansas. As u guessed previously I used to commute by BART to SFO. Now here I need car. As I am tall(6'5'') I can't go for carolla,civic. I can't buy costly cars like maxima,acura which have very good leg room. So, I am asking you folks.

You have the same problem as one of my friends in German. He's 6'6 and believe it or not, he's driving a Civic.

You want lots of leg room but inexpansive, perhaps you should consider SUV or some of the up-scale "used" sedan.

I'm 6'1", 185 lbs...

In both my contour and my mustang I can move the seat far enough back to that I can't touch the pedals. In both vehicles I can wear a helmet with inches to spare as far as headroom goes, and I sit with the seat in the most upright position.

Just two suggestions directly out of personal experience.

Cheap plug: My contour is for sale.

yea even though i despise Fords (fix or repair daily) they are made for bigger pple. we all know that japanese pple arent that tall. (no offense.) i have a old civic hatchback and im 6'0 and i got plenty room, even the new civics compensate for taller people so u should be ok.
