Hi, Does anyone know of any cars in the UK that give plenty of head room

so

you can sit up straight without hitting your head on the roof. Ideally

with

a small engine (i.e.1.4l aprox) if possible.
I am 6' tall and having back trouble trouble as I have to slunch in the

seat

when sitting in the car (vauxall astra).

Any advice welcomed

Thanks

Have you looked at the VW Golf - guy who sits next to me at work has a 2.0 turbo golf, he's very tall. You can get these with a 1.4 lump. Much depends on the trim version, and thus the seats.

Other lankies I know have a Mondeo, and a Yaris (seat right back, perhaps with modified or back-to-front seat runners) and a Vectra (he's quite wide as well as tall!)

What age Astra is it? - my current one ('02) seems to have lots of adjustment of seat/steering column/seat height etc - Club trim on an Estate.
lots of headroom.

Very happy with My Omega, loads of room.

Sold the old Vectra to a Traffic Cop (6` 6") and
he was very comfortable.
