+1 and I could hike the seat all the way up and still have adequate headroom... all this in an MCSC (with the top up ofcourse)

6'2", somewhere in that 34/36" inseam. I wonder how much body-type and weight have to do with comfort, too...I weigh 225. My test drive was so much more comfortable than I had thought it would be, and that helped to really sell me on the MINI. I haven't driven any more than the test drive thus far, as my baby is somewhere near--I hope--the Panama Canal right now. Will report back some time in November about how comfortable I've found it to be.

6'2" with a 34-36" inseam. I don't have the seat all the way back and feel like I've got plenty of room in the car.

5'8", but I "chair dance" and "bop" to the music, singing at the top of my lungs while driving, so... Glad to have that sunroof!
