Tall driver/passenger problem?

Is Mini uncomfortable for tall (~6') driver / passengers? (I am unable to get into a car to try this out because of my location.) Thx.

Is MINI okay for tall drivers?

Abon - saw your posting about whether a MINI is okay for a tall driver. I'm 6'4" and have no problems at all in the front seats. Not surprisingly the back is another issue but the MINI is one of the few small cars I have no problems with leg room or head room.

Hello all,
long time reader and new poster, have an 05 pure silver S. IN love with her and utterly mad with OCD, my wife hates the amount of time I spend detailing and searching (and buying) for new addons,
As for being uncomfortable for a tall person, I am 6'5 with size 13 feet and have more room in the Mini than I do in my Jeep wrangler

My MINI has been in the body shop for the last 4 weeks. I've been driving a chevy cobalt around. I miss my MINI.

Hello everyone..

New member here. I love the Mini and have lots of seat time in them but unfortunately don't own one. They are wonderful cars and I enjoy them so much.

Hopefully you can overlook that I drive a Neon.

Chris

Hey, on the good side, I get to drive a new GP this weekend on the track. :D

Hello,

I recently bought a 04 Cooper S. I'm glad to see someone else shares my new found passion! Why would anyone drive anything else?
