I also had to look for cars with leg and headroom.  I found that the car I
bought a Fiat Strada, had more room for me than any of the other cars I tried.
It is no longer sold new in this country but is popular in Europe, and
is available used.  It looks
like the Rabbit from the outside but there is much more headroom inside.
