Tall person buying a new small car - what would you recommend?
I am a tall person (6ft 2) who wants to buy a new small car. I drive around 8000 miles per year on motorways and in towns/cities.
Fuel economy, comfort, reliability and simplicity are the most important attributes for me.
Is there much to choose between the Skoda Citigo (2012), Hyundai i10 (2008), KIA Picanto (2011), Volkswagen Up (2012).

The i10 is best value and usually steers better than a Picanto (the quality of the EPAS varies). The Up will probably hold its value best because of the name. All testred at www.honestjohn.co.uk/road-tests/
