lol, just because youre a giant chris doesn't mean everyone else is tiny.

I've never driven or even been in a 19 so can't really comment but I can see that those of you over 6 foot might struggle with a clio. I'm bang on 6 foot and reckon if I was much taller it would be a bit of a pain.

I'm 6'2" and my little brother is gaining on me fast - and he's only 11!

my sister must be around the 6 foot mark too!

odd because my dad is not huge, and my mum is fecking tiny!

as for cars, I find the 19 to be a good fit. lisa's clio I also fit in ok, but I have the seat back as far as it will go and still want a bit more sometimes. headroom can be an issue when sitting in the passenger seat as theres no height adjustment on the seat, so I have to have the back reclined more than I normally would.

Best I've had for space was my old Tipo, like the tardis inside that was.

The lancia is a miracle of modern packaging. Its so much smaller inside than it looks like it should be, i don't know how they lost so much space
