I'm significantly taller than average (6'8"/203cm), very heavy, and most cars are simply not suitable for me as a driver (or passenger frankly).
My current car is a Holden Statesman, which has served me well as it's a long wheelbase sedan. However, it is now over 20 years old and is basically falling apart and the repairs are both difficult (because Holden doesn't manufacture this model anymore) and expensive. I'd get a newer model of Statesman if I wasn't afraid I'd just run into the same problem again.
My requirements (new/used, petrol/electric) are very open and my budget is (what I consider to be) high (AUD$100k) because the number one consideration is that the driver's side can accommodate my frame.
Range (for electric) is not that important, I would only need about 40 km per day. Won't generally need high-speed charging as I WfH for some of the week and can trickle charge.
Versatility not that important - I don't need SUV power or to transport things or have kids that need to be accommodated. I don't give a shit about 'sport' features.
I have no brand loyalties. I have never owned a new car but would be happy to do so. A car that held value would be nice but I do intend to keep for many years so not that important.
Any suggestions or ideas from personal experience, or where I can do some of my more own research? Importing a car is out of the question because I would have to have sat in it at least once.
My "tall" friend has Subaru Forester, probably worth having a look.
