A question for tall users

Hi, I want to buy 206 cc in a few weeks and I just wanted to know if tall people have any problems with using the car. I have 190 cm and I had some problems with preparing the seat at Dealer's. Do You (those who are over 190) find it difficult to use 206 cc?

Although im rather short ( only5 foot) my dad is quite tall and sometimes uses my car and has never had a problem driving it.

Best thing would be to ask for a testdrive, take it for a longish spin and see if you find it too crampt

The problem is I don't have any opportunities to test it. Dealers don't have these cars as test ones. I will probably have to ask the owner of the car I might buy. However, I just wanted to know your opinions

Really? where abouts are you? My dad bought me my 206cc last year, and he took one on a testdrive on two different occasions!!!

If you go on the peugeot website you can book a testdrive there aswell.

But as i said before, my dads tall, ( and quite big built) and manages to drive my car perfectly fine, hes even commented on how comfortable it is, so im sure you wont have a problem.

[quote=""clairelovestlc""]Really? where abouts are you?

I am from Poland, and the nearest dealer is 50 km from my town and unfrotunatelly they dont have 206 cc registrated, only one to look at, sit in or buy. I don;t want to check regural 206 as it is a little bit higher and won't reflect the same effect as 206 cc.

About my hight. If one inch is 2,5 cm then I am 76 inches tall. (I don;t know how many inches are there in one feet:P)

Hiya Keyvee, welcome to the forum.

I'm 186 cm tall (just over 6' 1"), there are 12" in a foot.

I can get comfortable in our 206cc but it IS cosy.

With the top down the wind ruffles my hair (what little I have left) because my hair sticks slightly above the windscreen. With the top up I have no problem though because the interior of the roof is concave and gives me enough headroom.

I recommend that you try the car before finally agreeing to purchase. I did, by going to a main dealer's for a test drive, but then cheekily went and bought nearly new privately thus saving about Â£2,000.

I wouldn't buy a car that I didn't know I would be comfortable in.

Best Wishes,

Ron

I won't buy a new one, it is twice as expensive as the ones from 2001-2002. So I have to look on the internet for the best offert.
