Which large automatic car will offer good comfort for a tall driver?

I am a tall chap with long legs and dodgy knees. My ageing Omega is in need of replacement but I cannot find anything with the same legroom or comfort. I am looking for a similar 3-4 year old estate/mpv, petrol, automatic circa £10,000. Any ideas? Whilst writing I cannot praise highly enough my wife's Suzuki Splash auto which I can fit into with ease, but is not big enough for my needs. Your advice as to what to look for would be much appreciated.

I recommend the Suzuki Splash auto a lot. For you, a Mondeo or Skoda Superb.
