6ft and more room for me than my Honda. The rear view mirror is dangerous though. It has to be in your way being 6' 8''.

6'2", room to spare. I say i drive a Mini and people are like "you fit in that"?.

May dad is 6'1" but he cant drive it because his feet are too big for the the foot well (he wears a size 14 shoe).

6' here and some room to spare (not much) but my Mini is a classic. It's got a little bit less leg room than the new ones.

6'2", size 14 shoes. I don't ride with the seat all the way back. I have plenty of room at the pedals with tennis shoes . . . actually indoor soccer shoes. I do have a little problem with my hiking boots but then, they're a bigger problem in the F-150 I sometimes drive at work (tendency to hit the accelerator while braking).

Im 6'4"-5" depending on the time of day...anyway, the rear view mirror is dangerous. Ive had cars and whatnot appear from behind it at bad times. I want to see if it can be mounted on top of the dash, like in some old corvettes.

I get those looks too; "you drive a MINI? how do you fit in there?"

I'm 6' 2" and I have to have the seat forward a bit to work the pedals. My dad was 6' 7" and sat comfortably in the passenger seat (I think he was afraid to drive it-he was a Dodge truck owner). Yeah, I get those looks too, kind of the same looks when I used to own a MG Midget. I tell them I keep a shoe horn in the glove box.

MINIs rule.
