Yeah, five. We all fit in a countryman with the rear bench seat option.

I know some people will never get a chance to truly cram the car full of clowns but I did today at lunch.

two guys about 6' 2" tall
two guys about 6' tall
and one guy 5' 10"
All of us around 180-190 lbs

I did not adjust the front seat slider for me (driving) and the guy in shotgun was about even with me. everyone in back had adequate leg room. All of them were suffering from lack of shoudler room until the middle guy leaned slightly forward. I ultimately had him lean his seatback one click forward to give him a real backrest without too much shoulder interference.

I wouldn't want to drive very far like that, but you could go an hour in a pinch without much drama.

No real complaints once the jokes about touching leg hair subsided.

 

And how did it handle with 900+ lbs. of cargo?

 

pretty much like you'd expect.

lost its "pep" off the line for sure, but wasn't slow or hard to get moving.

I didn't push it too hard on any corners, but it did feel a little bit heavier I guess. I'm sure the traction control handles a lof of this.

Needed a smidgen more brake pedal force but nothing shocking.

 

Let me guess. One lumberjack, one construction worker, one policeman, one cowboy, one indian, and it 's fun to stay at the YMCA. I kid, I kid. Good to know.

 

Lumberjack?

 

Really, now you've gone too far with the picture. Show a little decency. By the way, was the cowboy driving the Countryman?

I stand corrected, no lumberjack only leather wearing biker dude with the big moustashe he proudly nicknamed the
"love brush ".

 

He says as he posts the photo again. At least I didn't put the video up here.

 

I feel a sing a long coming.

 

You guys are hilarious!

 

Let 's play insert caption in the picture. This should be fun.

Easy ones.
Construction worker "Hey cowboy, stop yanking my chain. " "Hey cowboy, is that a
gun in your hand or are you happy to see me?

 

well this thread took a turn for the weird.

point of note: there is insufficient room to spell out Y M C A with your arms while sitting in a Countryman. Definitely not possible with 5 grown men. or 6.

 

In addition, most of the head gear (headdress, hardhat, Stetson, etc.) will need to be stashed in the boot, else unwanted attention may be attracted while driving through Hillcrest.

 

pics or it didn't happen.

 

Good work!

We occasionally have 5 family members the car from time to time:
one 6' driver
one 6' 3" Passenger
one 5' 11" rear seat passenger
one 5' 4" rear sear passenger
one baby in a car seat
and a trunk filled with a baby stroller and other baby stuff

In sport mode the car still hauls and still handles decently.

But pictures would be nice!

 

then i guess it didn't happen. it's hard to get photos while driving. also they would have made fun of me.

 

Ok, you found him out! He said MEN in case his wife saw his post. It was actually him and four woMEN.
