240 1988 LEG ROOM

Post by aijaz »

A volvo owner told me that his right leg hurts because 240 1988 has small Leg room. Any advise will be highly appreciated.

How tall is he?

Work colleagues of mine regularly drove the 240 for 8 hour shifts with no problems. Most of them were 6 foot+ in height.

He is less than 6 feet. He also told me that his corolla 1990 has more leg room.

I confess that I do not know how much leg room is in a Corolla as it is a car I have never liked.

However, I do know that the 240 has adequate leg room for 6 footers from experience in my own 240 and those we had at work. It is possible his leg problem could be from a poor sitting position.
