Bulk Transport/ Customer Service for tall guy

You can get a new Caravan in low twenties that should fit your needs, or you can get a used one pretty cheap. I see lots and lots of old ones on the road, so they must hold up pretty well. I've driven them and they drive well on the hiway.

The main thing against the minivans is they're large, so they won't be easy to park.

Might the Mazda5 work?

Or even the Kia Soul?

I'd check these to see if they have enough headroom and cargo space?

Sounds like you need a Honda Element- my brother used to have one. He is coincidentally 6'6 tall and the element has a tall windshield with headroom to spare for him, he only disliked the fact that his knee would rub on the shifter console. It was totaled in an accident when a pickup truck pulled out in front of him, but he walked away without injury. The element was a steller stuff mover, with a flat load floor made of plastic that could be hosed out, very roomy for its size, its a 4 seater. The suicide doors are annoying at times but fine if only for ocassional use. About the length of a Civic, it was a breeze to park and although not speedy, generally comfortable and easy to get in and out of- good ground clearance. He never had a single problem with over the 90000 miles until the crash. You should be able to pick one up used, I suggest an earlier model with low miles (maybe ~2005) that has the plastic floor, not a newer one with carpet. The tailgate is a clamshell design with a liftglass and a folding truck style tailgate, a very low load floor always made loading easy. The rear seats are removable but somewhat heavy. They can be laid flat to make a bed and folded up against the side wall which latches using a caribeaner on the grab handle.

I would advise against a Caravan, the newer models with the stow and go seats have front seats that are mounted way too far forward, making them very cramped even moved all the way back.

Nissan has a new NV200 which is similar to a transit connect, probably worth a look. My mom leases a Sentra which she is extremely pleased with.


If something smaller would work, a honda fit has an unbelievable amount of space for its size and the seats fold flat and its pretty roomy as well and its not as low as a regular car to get in and out.


The Element gets a lot of flack for its goofy box shape, but its undeniably practical and in my opinion, shares a faint resemblance with a Range Rover. My brother's 2005 fully loaded EX with 4WD cost him 22000 USD new, you could probably find a low mileage used one for a good price.

Best of luck!

The Honda Element is a spectacular suggestion. I suggested one to another member just the other day, don't know why I didn't think of it this time. The main con, as noted by automotim, could be the rear doors.

The passenger version of the NV200, marketed as a taxi, is likely too expensive. The MSRP starts around $30k in the U.S. And you might first have to found a taxi company.

The Fit could also work very well. In the 2015 the front seats are mounted a little lower than in earlier ones, for a better driving position. The floor is a little lower than the rear opening.

I'll also toss the Fiat 500L out as a possibility. Not sure if it offers enough front seat headroom. For decent rear seat headroom, skip the sunroof. The cargo floor can be made flat and even with the rear opening. A few aspects of this vehicle are an acquired taste. Quite Italian.
