Even the larger cars like the VW Jetta are too small for normal sized people. Also, you can’t find a car with an open front area. We are forced by safety standards to keep our feet in a tiny well directly in front of the driver and passenger in case of a crash. There is no room to stretch. The Indian made car looks like an even smaller car which will have smaller seats, less head room and an even tinier foot well.

I sold my Jetta and bought a ‘92 Suburban and a 2001 Lincoln Town Car. I had a couple of thousand left over. Both are roomy and comfortable. My next car will be even older.

Eventually, I will have a car from the early ‘50’s to add to the collection. (I’m looking for a straight 8 in case the wife is hounding you to get rid of that old Pontiac.)

I loved my 1992 Lincoln Mark VII LSC. Wish I still had it.

Will it be a daily driver? Parts availability might be an issue for all the most popular models, especially if you want to stay more or less original. I love old Mopars, and parts availability for my '65 Chrysler 300 was a major issue.
