£2k cars can be fine, this budget contains many Korean and a few Japanese gems, often low mileage owned and maintained very well by one mature previous owner.

The usual mega miles multi owner euroclone fodder is often getting ropey at this price its true to say, not as they were marvellous before..:-)

Nissan Note,

Regulary used by our own 6 foot 6 bloke with 3 other adults in car.

took us by suprise.

We had someone in our office who was about 6' 3";if you saw him in a car ,he was almost peering thro' the top of the wheel.Long legs and short upper body.

Youngest son is 6 foot 3 inches. Mark1 Yaris is fine.. He has had it for 4 years. Cost under £2k. Now 130k miles.

I had a really sore back earlier this year (sorted after daily exercises- still doing them) - and I found any twisting to eneter a car was impossible. Sit on seat and swing legs in was the only way to avoid spasms of pain so severe I wanted to cry..

So any bending at all was impossble. So cars with high doors and wide entrances are best for back sufferers...see http://www.rica.org.uk/
