PineClone Posted September 28, 2012 Report Share Posted September 28, 2012 As posted a couple threads down, i'm about 90% certain i will be buying a 78 B210 tomorrow. I'm 6'3". I'd hate to drive several hours to see the car and and find out that i don't fit. I currently drive a 1990 VW Golf as a commuter car. It works just fine. Follow-up question...Any OLD people here? I'm 43 and get this feeling this is a younger man's obsession. B) Thanks!! Quote Link to comment

freetheoranges Posted September 28, 2012 Report Share Posted September 28, 2012 I'm 6'6" and fall into my 510. At the SF Fun Run there was a dude probably 6' who drove a 210 and fit fine. Quote Link to comment

Kramer1981 Posted September 28, 2012 Report Share Posted September 28, 2012 Well I am 5-5, and I have about four inches of headroom, but, I am also a shortlegged freak with a 27 inch inseam, So I am the same sitting height as my 6-2 brother. Im 31 but Im also kind of a nut when it comes to unusual car obsessions. B210s are cool little cars, and are unusual enough to be cool without making parts hunting a nightmare. Quote Link to comment

q-tip Posted September 28, 2012 Report Share Posted September 28, 2012 6'3 fit in my 510 and 620 kc no problems, 510 has more head room. 620 has more leg room. Quote Link to comment
datsunfreak Posted September 29, 2012 Report Share Posted September 29, 2012 As posted a couple threads down, i'm about 90% certain i will be buying a 78 B210 tomorrow. Sedan or hatchback? Makes a little difference. taller roof/door frame on the sedan. I'm 6'3". I'd hate to drive several hours to see the car and and find out that i don't fit. I currently drive a 1990 VW Golf as a commuter car. It works just fine. I am also 6'3". Having daily driven both a B210 sedan and 3 Mk2 Golfs, the fit is actually pretty comparable. Especially if your Golf has stock seats. I had Scirocco seats in two of mine, as they were lower to the ground. Heaps more head room. :thumbup: Follow-up question...Any OLD people here? I'm 43 and get this feeling this is a younger man's obsession. 39 here. And don't let the kids have all the fun. B) Quote Link to comment

DaBlist Posted September 30, 2012 Report Share Posted September 30, 2012 You maybe tall but I can't call you old. Road trips that include a old car purchases are the best kind of road trip. Quote Link to comment
