Robin have a look at a Dax rush

Hi Robin. I'm 5 foot 10 and 14 stone. the Striker's a little short on elbow room (though there are new doors which improve things) but it's fine otherwise. I need padding behind me to reach the pedals! (Need to sort out a proper seat). It's quite difficult if you have a substantial passenger as well, but fine when you're on you're own. Striker do a track chassis option, but no fat bottomed "SV" type

Thanks for those.

Have now tried several Tiger Super 6s, a Raw Striker and a Caterham. No problem fitting in any of them, although different seat arrangements meant that legroom varied. The only one with limited elbow room was the Caterham. Unfortunately I liked them all despite their very different personalities. Making a decision is proving difficult. Am still searching and will check out the Dax.

Have you tried westfields if so why are they not one of your choices robin. The only reason why i am asking this is i am also looking at a kit car around the same budget and was wondering if i had missed something that put the other choices ahead of the westfield

Thanks

Ross

Good question Ross. I'm not sure. I was trying to keep things as simple as possible. I'm not aware of any reason why the Westfield should not be included on the same playing field.

It is interesting that despite lots of useful replies on this thread no car stands out as being the preferred choice. So far no model has emerged as being considered superior for overall quality, value, performance etc. It's a difficult choice.
