Hyundai Getz - Hire Car

[poita]

Since I'm a tight arse, while I'm in Sydney I will be driving round in one of these.
Now the problem I might have is, I'm 6'4"
Anyone who is pretty tall ever driven one of these?

[MatsHolden]

I'm 6'2" and drive a corsa, so you should be right. Just put the seat onto the floor.

[poita]

ah cool :)
might go into the local car dealerships and take one for a test drive hahahah

Had one in Greece and didnt have the seat all the way back (i'm 6,0) so I reckon yeah you'll be allright.

I'm too scared to hit 80 in it haaha
let alone that sort of speed.

so how scary was it pete?

[Wraith]

If it's anything like the i30 you'll have no probs...

A colleague of mine here at work has one and they've got enough headroom even for a very tall person...

Otherwise Poita, yep you'll have to do a high tower and catch some wind through the sunroof or just sit in the back seat :D

wasn't that scary - was just too loud. Car had new tires on it and the motorway's in Greece are pretty wide (this was on a stretch with 3 lanes) and straight.

Most of the time I sat on 140 and the car was fine. The Getz isnt a bad car.

[Taffy]

I own a GETZ and there is a load of headroom...It's OK.

It's done 140,000kms in only two years and nothing's gone wrong with it...can't go wrong with $60 a tyre either !

Hey Thomas, the missus and I had a Tiida for several weeks earlier this year and one thing I kept commenting on was how big the thing was, very tall roofline...

We (the missus and I) are not big people, but that thing had heaps of headroom, I think a very tall person would have no probs in a Tiida...

[Tfer]

Yes Ange, I agree.... the Tiida is perfect for someone who needs space and especially height.... plenty of room to swing the cat around ABOVE your head :eek:

But the thing didn't instill any confidence in me, when driving it in sydney :rolleyes:
