Great review Dazz, but I won't be ordering one. I've been diesel spoilt. How did you find the head room  ie the space between your forehead to the roof. I guess it's a two seater really.  :neutral:

Great review Dazz, but I won't be ordering one. I've been diesel spoilt. How did you find the head room  ie the space between your forehead to the roof. I guess it's a two seater really.  :neutral:

The headroom in the rear is OK for small kids - but in my opinion downright dangerous for tall adults. The rear hatch is pivoted in the roof forward of the rear seats so your head is under the glass. Tall passengers will be looking at the front of the hatch frame and will have to "duck" down to see through the front window. In the event of a crash your head would be projected forward and hit the frame with serious results. In my opinion it is a fatal accident waiting to happen.

This is a crappy photo taken on my phone when I tested the car.

Thanks Alan, I remember your comments about the rear seat position, but I wondered about the front seat in particular  :neutral:

Hi Phil

I think I mentioned it in my written review. Even though I am only around 175cm or 5'9" tall my cap was grazing the head lining.. I suspect the electric adjustable seat may have been jacked up a bit and this model has a sunroof with an electric blind so that probably doesn't help...
