What car, big guy edition

Big Guy? I'd say 1972 Ranchero GT. $8,500 more for fixup would be glorious. 1972 ranchero gt 400 - $1500 (jefferson )

Being a larger guy(6', 32" inseam, large build) room was ok, but I always wished for 1-2" of more leg room. Factor in a 70 mile commute, I would recommend against it. This comes from 8 years of DD'ing neons.

But can you get one from after they fixed the dump truck-like handling (2009 I think?) within the budget?

Yes.

2005+ is what you're looking for. Not gonna get one of the 3.7's for $10k, but the earlier cars (4.0 V6 or 4.6 V8) are both widely available under $10k.

My 4.6 / 5 speed that I got a year ago for $7500 -

A4 or A5 VW Golf fits large people surprisingly well.
