23M, 210cm tall, can’t find a car that fits me
I’m a 23-year-old Malaysian student (~210cm tall) trying to find a car that fits both my body and my financial reality, but I’m stuck.
I’ve tested many cars in Malaysia:
* Most Perodua/Proton cars don’t fit me properly at all
* Honda Civic fits me okay, but it’s too low and uncomfortable for getting in/out daily
* SUVs like Honda BR-V fit, but I get leg fatigue on longer drives due to seat support
* Overall, most affordable cars either don’t fit me or cause discomfort over time
So far, I’ve noticed European cars (like VW/BMW/Merc sedans) fit my driving position and seating comfort the best.
But my problem is:
* I can’t handle unpredictable repair costs or sudden big maintenance bills
* I’m still a student / early in my career
So I’m stuck between:
* Cars that fit me physically but are financially risky (continental cars like BMW/VW/Mercedes)
* Cars that are financially safe but physically uncomfortable for my height
Right now I feel like I’m running out of realistic options in Malaysia that are both comfortable for a 210cm driver and financially safe at my stage of life.
Looking for advice from tall drivers or anyone who’s dealt with similar budget + comfort constraints.
