I'm glad I'm not the only tall one
 

I'm about 6'3 so my selection of cars is limited. I'm still looking for my first car. My mom wants me to have something with leg room, but I don't want a big family car. Whats a good inexpensive car for a person my height thats not to big and family looking?

P.S. Jessica, I've seen a lot shorter people than you so don't feel bad, I'm way taller than my mom, she's about 5'4, my dad is 6'4.

I still like my little Ford Bronco
 

I think i'm gonna stick with my 1990 Ford Bronco Eddie Baurer Edition...Its got 85,000 miles and still runs like a charm..lol

Hey bill... how about some off roading?...lol

I really have no idea why anyone likes SUVs. No one uses them for their purpose so I don't get it. I'm fairly happy having a Red '99 Dodge Dakota waiting in the parking lot for me although I definately wouldn't have a problem if it turned into a BMW Z-3 Roadster while I was at work. ;)

Wait a minute...
 

SUVs...4x4s...I do see a difference...

SUVs are those small "spin-offs" of the real thing (4x4) made to look good at a reasonable price. The main attribute that makes SUVs popular, their "sleek" design, is also a flaw that allows the vehicle to flip upside down in a split second....

4x4s, now those are the "ish". They are rugged, dependable and last a long time. They are also the only things a few of the posters in this thread can comfortably drive in...you know, the height thing...

~Wow, totally went off tangent there....

the other problem with suv's is that theyre a danger to other drivers, cuz you cant see around them and stuff

plus who wants to own an suv now with gas prices as high as they are?

as far as off roading...i once took my station wagon on a little spin through the woods...it was fun...i was following my friend (who has a tahoe) and he went through the woods and i was too lazy to go around...everyone was shocked when they saw the wagon come out though

and suv's are fine if theyre used to go off roading or cuz you have 5 kids in youre family, or pull heavy loads...but if youre gonna use it for off roading or for heavy loads there are better things out there, pick ups and such

Gas Guzzler
 

Yeah speaking of high gas prices... my bronco only gets 8 miles per gallon in the city... so at 1.68 a gallon for gas it cost me approx. $40 to go from an empty tank to a full tank.. which only takes a little more than a week...

About the height of SUV's... i like that they are tall cuz it keeps people off your butt when you're driving down the interstate... plus i like sitting up higher.. it gives the feeling of control..lol:D

I think an SUV with 4X4 is perfect for off-roading.. i dont like pickups cuz they can be so light in the back..

yeah if its tall you feel like youre in control, but how are other cars supposed to see around you? if someones behind you in traffic its impossible to see the car ahead of you's break lights. also when youre at an intersection trying to turn one way and an suv pulls up next to you to turn the other way its impossible to see cars coming from that direction so you cant tell if its safe to turn

also...$1.68/gallon!?

what kind of gas do you get? around here its $1.89 or so at least for the lowest grade of gas...

mike who feels even more ripped off then he did before

You only pay $1.68 for gas!!!

I'm lucky to find gas for under $2 in LA.

Joe whose old junker gets approx 30mpg

Gas Prices
 

$2 a gallon?.. holy cow thats a lot...

I just filled up today with regular unleaded and it was only $1.58 a gallon...lol
