I feel so short after reading this thread. I am only 5'10. But I have respect for you tall guy driving minis. Reminds me of when I took a Great Dane for a walk and every person said "Where's his saddle?"

I'm 6'4ish and I fit ok in my R53. My problem is I have 37" inseam. I'm all legs and I fit, but I wish I could stretch out my legs. My previous 05 model had enough room to slide my left leg between the clutch and dead pedal to stretch it out, but I can't do that in my 04. Oh well, I still love these cars!

6'10" and I am on my third Mini. Currently and '08 Sidewalk Convertible. Had a Clubman and, believe it or not, a 1980 Classic Convertible.

I'm not tall - 4'11" - but I just bought a 2013 Clubman in large part because out of all the things we test drove, it fit both me and my husband (6'7") best. He's about even torso and leg but has GIANT feet - only size 13 length but 6E with and drove it no problem. As you can imagine, cars we both find comfortable to drive are few and far between.
