Hi Fellas (and fellaesses),
I have been a keen admirer of the VX220 for a while now and i am now in a position to purchase one, however i was wondering if i was too tall for the car?!?
I am 6ft 1" and in my current car i have quite a lot of leg room.
I currently drive a Saab which is comfortable and good for long journeys but i very rarely make long journeys and want something to have some fun in. The VX220 seems to tick all the boxes.
Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
Matt

No you're not too tall at all. My bro-inlaw is 6'2" and easily gets in and out of my vx.
Plus there are owners who are around 6'4" and they manage

I am 6ft 1"
6ft 1" will be fine.
Once you are in there, there will be plenty of room.

6five and no problems. Where do you live, one of the owners is sure to let you have a good prod around their car.
