Heya,

Came across the website through google, very good it is too

Im looking to get a new car in the next 6-8 months or so (Bit far ahead i know!) and have really been considering a Octavia vRS. It seems to have everything i could want, decent stealthy looks, with the performance to go with it, i even hear the mileage is great along with reliability and running costs. Also the stories ive heard of you guys pulling up along side BMW's and giving them a good run for their money sounds like fun - i'd love to see some of their faces!

There is however, one big factor for me when it comes to buying, actually, make that getting into a car. You see i am 6'8 (Yes the weather up here is nice) and currently drive a MK2 2.0 Ford Mondeo Zetec-S, which is very comfy for me.

My biggest worry is now that ive found a car that i really do like the look of, but am i gonna fit in it? I know the obvious answer would be to go sit in one, but im a little busy with things at the moment and im afraid i wont have time for a while yet.

The other car i was considering was another Mondeo, the ST200 - Similar power and spec to the vRS, around 200BHP, leather seats, trip comp, CD changer etc... but only 25MPG or so, then theres the issues finding one thats decent and reliable.

Anyway basically i just wanted to know if i would firstly fit in the thing and your comments on which is the better car. (Obviously its gonna be a little biased, but hey!)

Thanks,

Tom.

Tom, welcome :wavey:

There is a user on here, sixman9, who, strangely enough is 6'9" and he fits. Click his name and send him a personal message if you want re-assurance at this stage prior to actually sitting in it.

Don't order one with a sunroof

Welcome to Briskoda. When you check to see if you fit, make sure the seat is in the fully lowered position.

Hey, order one with a sunroof - I only said don't as, buying a hat and some goggles to drive in would make you look silly
