Default Question for wagon owners

Hi guys,

Quick question, I'm 6"2 in hight.
And I want to know how much space there is, behind the drivers seat when the base is all the way back???
As in all my cars only a small child can sit behind me, also is standard suspension soft or hard??

Thanks

Same room as the saloon - does that help? (your profile pic shows a saloon, don't know if it's yours)

How about a legacy GTB, loads of rear leg room in them.

I'm 5'11" with long legs so the seat is all the way back and on the lowest pump, basically as far back as it will go, there is space for an adult but I wouldn't want to be in the back for a long time, but to be fair most cars don't have a great deal of leg room until you get into barge class.

Thanks for the answers guys,
Skoobie dhu, that's my old motor.
Got a forged Sti hawkeye spec d now, but the wife finds the suspension very hard.
And just thinking about baby seat etc.

The main reason for my question is, my wife is expecting.
And need to think about a baby seat with the ISO fixings.
Will their be enough space for our little one???
I know the best way is to go to a shop and check!!

Thanks guys
