I honestly feel like I fit in my MINI better and more room (especially headroom) than in my 2000 Toyota Tacoma.

6'6" and about 375... I'm a big boy, but the MINI is quite comfortable. I don't even have to push the seat all the way back like I do in every other car.

The only reason I even considered a MINI in the first place is because my 6' 5" 250lb+ friend loved his. He does look like a clown getting out of it though. =]

I'm 6' and it's fine. My 6 year old daughter can sit in her car seat behind me no problem.

I don't push the seat back all the way... It is more comfortable for cruising, but I like to be IN the cockpit when driving. Seems to be a problem with most cars - either the pedals are too close or the steering wheel is too close.

The MINI Cooper actually has more front leg room than a HUMMER.

Speaking of back seats why doesn't mini consider that we might have some adult friends who might want to motor with us? I wish my back seat had 2-3 more inches of leg room.
