A car with lots of leg room
I am looking to spend £6000 - £7000 on a 2007/2008 plate car. I am 6 foot 4 tall and have two children (ages 2 and 5) so interior legroom space a main consideration.
I want a car that is also fairly cheap to run, preferably maximum 1.6 engine size which I guess would limit me to a medium size car?
I would also prefer a hatchback (not keen on estates or MPVs). Also, I have been considering a diesel but note that they can be expensive for certain replacement parts?
I have driven a diesel Seat Leon on holiday which seemed spaciuos inside and have also been considering a Focus or Astra but not sure if these would offer the required interior space?
Very unsure what to do for the best...hope you can help!

Can you recommend a car that has enough legroom for two tall parents with tall kids? Our Ford Focus Estate leaves the adult passenger's knees touching the dashboard.
My husband and I are both tall (he's 6ft4 and I'm 5ft11) and with a second child on the way we need to find a second hand car with space for us and two car seats.
We've got a Honda Accord at the moment...
Which has better rear legroom and would have cheaper parts - 2009 Hyundai Grandeur or 2009 Skoda Superb? I need something relatively cheap to run (MPG aside) and that can allow for plenty of front legroom...
