Im looking at picking up a 1993 ceres as a daily driver.
Its got the silver top 4age and 5 speed manual.
just running on to 190,000kms.

Aparrantly they dont have much head room? im 6'2 will this be a problem? its 4 hours away so i dont really wanna go see it unless im pretty much gunna buy haha!

Peoples opinions etc on the car would be great, as i dont know too much about them!

Cheers people!

6'2 might be a problem, im only 176cm(5'7) and my hair just touches the lining,
prefect for small asian girls tho

hmmm might have to go track one down at a car yard tomorrow and have a sit in it and possibly a play if they let me haha.

I honestly dont mind the look of them either, minus the spoiler.

if you adjust the seat to a lazyboy style then you might be fine,
even a ep starlet has more room,

My brother has one of these and we are both 6'2" and it's not bad, I dont have to have the seat all the way back. Some people are weirdly proportioned. All torso and no legs :lol:

If it's got a sunroof I'd say buy some goggles

im around 6 foot, my mate had one and only troubles i had was in the back seat, go try one out and see if YOU are comfortable in it

Definitely make sure you're going to be comfortable driving it! I made the mistake of buying a car after a really brief test drive, only to discover that after 20 minutes driving the car I needed a chiropracter.

Bloody hell. I've never known any car to have that effect on someone.

Either you bought a sh|tter with nails for a seat, or you're 8foot tall lol

I went and had a look at one in a yard today, and i fit fine inside it. to be really comfortable i tilt the seat back a little bit more than usual but nothing "Boy Racer" style

by **frost** » Thu May 27, 2010 10:15 pm

haha - my 6ft 5 inch uncle couldn't fit into my sisters GSR Cordia back in the day. No matter how far back the seat went, his head had to be on an angle.

Option 3, I'm just a pussy.

Nah, I was exaggerating for the sake of making the story more interesting. Don't really know why.

Car was a EF CRX and for some reason it just hurt me to drive it.

My mum on the other hand loved it, and used to vtax to the shops in it.
