21 is no more roomy than the 19.

Lagunas big though, I like that for space. The Saab was nice as well as were a few mercs and bimmer 540's/750's etc

Clio for me in every aspect.

IMO the Mk1 Clio 16v (and better still Williams) handles better than a 19 16v...its sharper and has more feel...the Williams is noticeably more planted.

I rub in the 19 as well, the left legs the worst, its cos they be feckgin long.

the 21 is ok, the seats int he 19 and clio adjust better. the 19 seats when you adjsut the height the back drops down, the 21 the seat just pivots back. its crap.

I can see that you bigger lads would struggle in a Clio....im only 5'11", and with the seat right back i feel like i could do with another couple of notches of movement.

the other problem that the clio doesn't suffer from is the fecking sunroof. Most of you that have seen me drive etc note my driving position, horizontal, I can look out the back window in the chammy with ease.

Theres no headroom cos of the stupid sunroof, much better in the sleeper, about 3 inches more room!

I'm over 6' but i set with my legs bunched up under the steering wheel on cars so i can't say i've found a clio to be too small

are you over 6 foot?

I thought you were smaller than that.
