I'm part of that not-growing segment for sure. I purchased a Mini because it is small and quirky, and I purchased my Honda Pilot because it is big and reliable. Everyone has their reasons for what they would like to drive, and I can imagine a larger Mini being more comfortable and will likely change my mind some day as my kids legs get longer, though for me I like my Minis to be mini. (Whenever my kids see a 4 door Mini they call it a Biggie. 
No offense intended!)
