i'm 5'10 and i'm a little worried about how spacious copens are, i've got a general idea from comparing measurements i found online to cars i've been in, but does anyone of a similar height have any firsthand experience they can offer? for specifics, the car i'm looking at is a 2006 vivid 659cc manual, it's yellow and i am hopelessly in love with it, even though it'll probably go before i can get it, i'll be looking for the same model because of how much i love it
I'm not quite that dizzy height but you may also want to look at some videos (if you haven't already) - Here's one from Top Gear - James May is almost 6 feet in old money - They won't be spacious for sure but mine never feels cramp. For what it's worth I always get in like a diver - backwards - to first sit on the seat then legs in when turning round to face forward.
yeah, i've seen that and a few others, still a little worried, but honestly i love the little things so much i don't care too much if my knees are a little closed in also i expected to have to get in a little weird so no sweat there
I’m 5'7" and have no issues at all. At first it felt a bit like being folded into a suitcase—especially with the pedals so close together—but after a few drives you get used to it. Now it somehow feels completely normal… which is probably the funniest part.
Hi Natalie. Glad to see you are considering a Copen, but concerned you are asking about how much room there is inside. The answer is: none. This is a Kei car.... tiny, and specific for its intended market. Don't imagine toting the groceries or an Ikea bookshelf home in it... please look at other options. However, if you want a fun, city runabout without utilitarian concerns, then go for it! In terms of seating for yourself, I am 182cm tall, and have no problem with fitting in with the roof closed. These things are great as a second car, but not practical enough for your primary drive. All the best to you, and please feel free to ask me any specific questions. Cheers, Peter.
The cabin area is snug. I'm 5'10" and it fits me like a glove, which is perfect. I've got to say the boot is surprisingly useful for a convertible. Although the boot floor is not flat you can fit quite a lot of shopping in it, perhaps 4 carrier bags worth, maybe more if you carefully pack.
Any way you look it, it's a small car. However, it's surprisingly roomy for a two seat layout. Myself (6'0) and my muscular mate (6'1) fit easily with our seats all the way back. I sit a little closer to the wheel than I'm used to, but it's by no means uncomfortable! My arm still sits straight on top of the wheel. Right leg stays bent, left leg nearly fully extends with the deep clutch. So you will definitely fit in the cabin comfortably, pull that trigger! My only complaint is that there's no arm rest for my right arm while cruising, but I've been spoiled by German comfort and it's honestly not a big deal. But hey, if you want to feel extra spacious, just open the roof
Also, you can shuffle the passenger seat forward if you have a taller item or something that needs stabilising without falling over when you turn the car. Quite a lot of space there too if you don't have a passenger of course!
