Help us car shop......

My ex was 6'2" and thought the leg room on my CRX was amazing (and he was all leg height!)

But it had no back seat.

And my cow orker is about 3'4"...well, maybe 5'2" or something equally shrimpy.

So, I saw a CRX today and thought "that might be an option" and yet seems like you can't get new ones.....


Current State of affairs: Fit is rule out because although everything else is perfect, the driver space only scores a 7 for 6'2" beest and it needs to be a 9 or 10 as he will be the everyday driver.

Currently in the running:

Fiesta, but the back seat fold down/luggage space is an issue
Versa, but I'm not enamored -it rates a 7 for me on comfort but I hate the wing mirrors, They are too short and such poor quality there's a weird distortion going on. Beest agrees ..although it took him longer to realise the problem -he just though he hadn't adjusted them properly on his rental)

Subaru Impreza We haven't actually seen this yet and it'll be weeks before we can, but the sugestions here led beest to investigate further and he's impressed and apparently his colleagues feel it's a good choice too.... (he's in the car parts biz, yes, we get discounts on some brands. Subaru is one)

I have learned than American brands have much more useable websites than Asian ones.
