Gonna need to change my car in the next few months. Currently drive a Toyota Yaris which is ok but it’s starting to get uncomfortable and giving me knee pain... Being 6ft4 doesn’t help but it’s my wife’s old car as I bought a new estate last year for her and our two boys; so this is the cheap runaround... We’ve had it 5 years and it’s never been a problem and cheap to run also....
I only use it for the work commute that only 15 miles of 30/40mph zones and occasional stop start traffic... but I am in the car for an hour each morning and night so bring comfortable is a big thing..
Before you go and say how about this BMW or this Mercedes Benz.... I can’t afford anything like that as I already have a big car to pay for so don’t want something that’ll drain my money away....
Here’s my specs:
I am 6ft4 (with a 34” inside leg)
£13k max
Petrol (only cover 7-8k miles per year)
Newish car (3 years max)
Reliable
No bigger than 4.5m (space on drive)
It will only be serviced at a manufacturers service centre....
Would like a small sports car or hot hatch but that may never happen being my stature....
