New Mini Coupe, okay for 6+ footers?? I saw one in Chicago...

Hello:

A brand new Mini dealership opened up in Chicago...guess what they had on their lot? The new Mini Coupe, but it's not for sale.

Anyway, has anyone had the chance to sit in a mini coupe yet? If so, any thoughts regarding the interior space? I'm 6'2" and it's a car I'd like to consider, but from the outside, it looks very very small.

Is there any website listing out the internal specs (e.g., head room, etc)?

Thanks,
VJ

I had the same concerns after seeing a recent posting on www.motoringfile.com. Several tall people commented that they had plenty of headroom, though. I would assume that you can adjust the height of the seat all the way down and gain even a little more headroom. I think over 6' 4" might be pushing it, but you should be OK.
