1 year agoSmall cars today are huge. I am also 6’4’’ and drive a Mk7 Golf. There is more than enough room to get comfortable. Much bigger than my Mk4 from 15 years ago.
I’ve driven a lot in full size trucks and crossovers and they are quite comfortable but I don’t think I would trade the exterior size and poor city maneuverability for the relatively minor increase in comfort I get. I drive 3-6 hours in my Golf to camp and don’t have significant discomfort in my legs during the trips. Maybe I’m a freak because I can stretch out my legs in this car while in the driver’s seat and get everything down there recombobulated. I would probably be in more pain if I was 15 years older and was driving much more than I do now though.
