Hi! I'm 6'4" and I'm looking for a car with a spacious legroom. Any suggestions?

Front or rear legroom?

Front po. I'll be the one to drive

[alwayz_yummy]

So far sa akin, carens ko pinaka ok legroom...basta batayan mo longer wheel base=more spacious legroom

[frequenzy]

pinaka spacious na nasubukan ko is yung accord 2010 ata yun. grabe sa luwag para kong nag drive ng eroplano. sana lahat na lang ng auto ganun :-) kaso tingin ko hindi pasok sa 1.5M yun

thanks ghosthunter and renzo_d10 So far po i've tried sonata, montero, fortuner, everest, xv(last mias2012). Pick ko po montero and everest, pero i think mas spacious yung everest. Sonata: a bit tight. Would you consider Cruze a nice one? kasi it has a huge legroom e. Mahaba po range ng adjustment sa seat(the adjustment that brings your seat backward to have more space)

Di po ba matakaw sa gas ang accord? student palang po ako e.

Worried about gas bills and you have a 1.5 million peso budget? Why not spend on a 1 million peso car and leave 500k over for gas?

If it's just front seat space, almost any car will do. My classmate in College around 6'6" and drove a 92 Corolla, which didn't even have as much front leg-room as a current Jazz.

My assistant now is around 6' flat and drives an i10. That's a fantastic car for a student budget.

[J.Refran]

Thanks! That's why Cruze is one of my choice

True. Basketball players in my batch like Rich Alvarez went through college driving a USDM two door Civic EF. My 6'5 classmate also went through highschool and college in his war car boxtype Galant with no issues.

IF you're looking for fuel efficiency, even mid sized cars like the Altis, Civic, etc. will do the job ably. Just take the time to go to the showrooms and check them out; be particular about the leg/thigh support of the seats at your driving position as that will hurt during long drives if its not matched to your height (that's the main problem i encounter usually; i am over 6ft).

[niky]

The longest front seats are in the Cruze and the Lancer, but the Altis is an excellent choice... large, very fuel efficient. Only issue I have is the front footwells. The odd shape may make you sit further back to get enough legroom, which will compromise your driving position.

Try before you buy. If you can't test drive, at least sit in the car to check out the driving position.

*OTEP: Should have said former assistant. He's now the boss at that business unit.

I wish I was Niky so I can have an assistant, too. Hehe.

Rear legroom is quite generous on car based suv's also. And the raised rear seats on most models dont force your knees into your chest.

[alwayz_yummy]

ok din ata legroom ng jimny...

[renzo_d10]

Wow! 1.5m for a student.

The cruze and corolla is okay. Look at the focus tdci as well, though the rear legroom isn't spacious, the front legroom looks ok for me. -- i stand 5'7 btw. Fuel efficient and pretty darn fast too.

Whoa! Talaga? Well, that's the thing with some of these micro mini's. With more bare interiors, the small space is maximized.

Imagine the horror of the gansta-wannabe guy who'll get into a tussle with a Picanto then have Mic Pennisi and another big basketball players hitching a ride with him climb out. :D
