- madengr 11y agoYes, lay back. When I rent at the airport, I always try to get a VW Bug as they have decent visibility. VW has seats that adjust pretty low, then push it all the way back, and I'm good. That's fine if it were just me, but my kids could never fit behind me. Used to have a VW Corrado when I was young and single, and that was a good car for tall people, as long as you didn't need the back seat. Next vehicle will be either a Tesla Model 3 (assuming they well be roomier with lack of engine) or a Mercedes Sprinter van. The later has good visibility and I can sit straight, which is good as my back is giving me trouble; I hate stooping to wiggle into cars.
- blakeyrat 11y agoOut of curiosity, did you ever try a PT Cruiser? Of course now that they're out of production, it's kind of moot, but I've heard a lot of good things about the way their seating is designed by my 6'3"+ tall friends.
- roflchoppa 11y agoI'm constantly looking for a clean Corrado, really want a v6 model. That and more 204z's. Yeah One day I put 2x2 together and realized German cars tend to have good head space, although if I flipped my buddies Miata over I'd loose all my hair....
- madengr 11y agoI had a '94 (last year in the US). Had it up to 130 MPH with 4 people in it and the sunroof open, and it was silent. Man I loved that car. Now I'm married with 2 kids and drive a minivan. At least I sold it to another enthusiast.
- roflchoppa 11y agoYeah bring raised on JDM cars, I was surprised about the small comforts of German vehicles. Perhaps you should consider a wagon and drop the mini-van... ;p
