I have a recent client who drolled over my MINI when he met me. He of course asked how I fit (6' 3"), so I let him (a tiny bit shorter but heavier) sit in the drivers seat, and I showed how the seat lowers. "Oh wow" was his response.
He was with some friends in a parkinglot when a MINI parked nearby. He bet his buds that he could fit, and (of course clueless) they said no way. So he asked the driver if he could show them, and the cool owner obliged. Soon as he got in and lowered the seat, his friends knew they were had!

 

I love how everyone who doesn't own a mini thinks we drive clown cars. If someone points to the motorcycle parkinglot while I'm driving by again, I'll go mad!

On another note, they are usually surprised at how big it is once they sit in it. Hmm...

 

Funny story. Most of my friends are really surpriced at the interior of my MC. And with all of that glass and the sunroof...it makes it look even bigger than it is.
