What's the best first car for a tall driver?
I've recently past my test and I'm currently looking at cars but I'm 6ft10 and need good legroom. What do you suggest?

As a new driver you will want a car that has low insurance costs and is cheap to run, unfortunately this usually means a small car which may not be ideal for your frame.
It would be best to get behind the wheel of any car you are looking at to ensure you can get comfortable, but we would suggest looking at the Volkswagen Polo, Skoda Fabia, Honda Jazz and Citroen C3, as they offer good headroom for their size.
