They are tiny inside.

Anyone over about five feet six won't fit.

That's a very good point too, if I drive it, I have to have the sun roof open.

Like a Lexus 200 then 

Oh yes, beware things being trapped in the boot door seal, its a big old band when the rear screen goes!

No. No problem with the Lexus. At all!

But then I'm a normal, proportionally correct body size.

I dont fit in the Tigra very well 

Is that my fault for being too fat.... or the car's for being too small?

Walked straight into that one. 

I also thought the is200 a bit cramped, but it didn't stop a 6'6" mate of mine buying one. Bizarre.

They aren't as wide as an omega, but the head room is EXACTLY the same with a sun roof in both.(not having a sunroof in an omega gives considerably more head room, as Als ex plod proved today with the same Elite seat as mine)

Ive got an old S reg 1.4 Manual LPG, that I use for pottering around, great little Cars, handle like Go Karts with the right Tyres on them, really goof in the snow as well.

Not much in the 1.4 vs 1.6, being LPG I can stick around 25 quids worth of Gas in it (Spare Wheel) and get over 300 miles on Gas.

Rust areas can kill them for Mot's, sreas effected or Rear Arch, Rear Body just above the Bumper, and around the Front Suspension Areas, still plenty out there going strong after 15 plus years.

Go for a Manual. 16v, back seats are bloody uncomfortable, but fold them down and you have an instant Van tons of space in the back.

Im 6,2 once you master the art of getting in and out of them, loads of Head Room. common faults are wet rear condensation on the boot which is caused by the rear water holes near the rear Hatch Shocks getting bumged up, need cleaning with a toothbrush once a week, check the NS Window automatically opens and shuts a few inches when you close the Hatch Door, or youstand the risk of blow the HatchGlass out, Head light Bulbs a real pain in the arse to replace, Lambda's and Air Sense fail, cheap fix, apart from that, easy to maintain and cheap parts, and easy to work on.
