Honestly this is absurd. These death machines shouldn't be legal in europe. That thing doesn't even fit in the parking space, even though the parking lot has the biggest spaces in the whole city. The Golf Polo is so small in comparison, it could even hide in front of the engine hood of the truck.
EDIT: It's a Polo and not a Golf, I don't know my cars, sorry for that!
I mean... No. They do not. The car fits 4 tiny people.
I'm 6'4. I drove tiny sedans for years, for all the reasons you'd think.It was physically painful for me. I finally couldn't do it anymore. In no way would my tall family fit in that tiny car.
Are trucks way too big? Yes. Should public transport be easily accessible and prioritized? Absolutely. Is the seating in those vehicles the same. Not at all.
This is a weirdly common issue in this sub, people dismissing one person's issue or use case offhand, because it doesn't align with their preconceptions.
Most small cars don't have anywhere near the leg room of a big vehicle, especially with multiple occupants.
I'm 6'4 and I can fit very comfortably in a Polo. Volkswagen Polos are in the top 10 best selling cars in the Netherlands, along with Opel Corsa, Toyota Yaris, Peugeot 208 and Kia Picanto. All compact cars that are perfectly comfortable in the front seats selling great in a country where being 6'4 isn't rare.
With anyone in the back? Because I drove a Jetta for years, which has a surprisingly spacious front seat. Unfortunately, unless your legs were two dimensional, you did not fit behind me.
As a 6'5 i disagree. The small car is a renault clio 2007 model, a regular hatchback. I owned one of those and could drive it fine.
Dont compare it to a opel corsa or 211, those are tiny af and too small for us lol
The small car is clearly a Volkswagen, the badge on the front is visible. It's a pre-facelift Polo mk5, though, and as a fellow tall person whose brother had one for a while I know I fit in it fine
For you, about anyone is tiny. And you are one of the very few who would actually need a larger car. And don't you come with "but all my friends in my basketball team are like that!"
I often wonder how basketball players drive sports cars. Maybe from the back seat?
Anyway, no. When friends ask if they should buy the same vehicle, I tell them to get a smaller one if they fit. Cheaper gas, maintenance, and easier to park...That or buy an RV.
One of the doctors in the hospital I once worked was >2m (6ft8in for the metrically challenged) and drove a Porsche. Seeing him folding into that car was quite interesting.
2 in the back and 2 in the front is fine for people with average size 1.85m height and normal posture. 3 in the back no but that is the case for a lot of cars unless they have separate seats. If you are taller then no every car works for you as well as I know from my uncle and nephews which are 2m
I (5 foot 10, really long legs) drove an old Nissan Micra (slightly bigger than a Mini) for years and the size never bothered me. My brothers and dad are taller than me and they've always driven small hatchbacks. Suzuki Swift, Volkswagen Polo, that kind of thing. Seats can go all the way back, and both the Swift and the old Micra have high enough roofs.
