Over the years I have noticed the Senetor/Carlton where bigger inside than the Omega, even the MFL was slightly bigger than the FL models, not a great difference but a bit here and a bit there it adds up.
The most noticeable head room was in the old mini.
The most sumptious I think was the leather in the 2.9 scorpio
The only car I have had to pull the seat forward in was a Lada.
Space wise I was suprised with the driving position /space of the mk1 micra.
The old Toyota Hiace box van hacked me off because I always seem to rest my foot by the acelerater as I get in the car and when I hired one of these I jumped in rested my foot and promptly shut the door nearly taking all my toes off
I loved the old 420SE merc bench seats and the space of it. but hated the old 2 door sl merc (80's).
Have always been drawn to vauxhall having had HA van, chevette, manta, cavalier 2/3/4 doors, carlton, omega etc, even a royale for a while and a couple of GM yanks.
With the lack of large RWD vauxhall cars to choose from other than the VXR V8 that will turn me back into a reckless 17 year again then that's a nono, but I think its time to move on.
Time to look for something different, time to try a diesel I think. but looking for something with a slightly bigger interior than the Omega's a bit like the senetor was.
Looking around at the (3.0 diesel)
300C - considering the estate version
S class Merc - less economical than the E class
E class Merc -
Audi A6 Quatro
plus a honda legend (petrol but is 4x4 3.5 v6)
Even the Lexus hybrids
Not sure whats good or bad, guessing the insurance may be hefty compared to the migs on some.
Just looking for someing with all the toys, but more interior space and added comfort for longer journeys.Anysuggestions welcomed regards other models.
