I am 6 foot 6 and have a deposit on a MCS with a sunroof. Does any body else who is about this height have this feature? I reckon it is a cracking sunroof, but have noticed when I sit in the car that it significantly reduces the headroom by about 5cm. How much headroom do the other MCS drivers in the forum have? And are there any other tallies driving this vehicle, with or without the sunroof?

Thanks for your responses.

In a cooper with no sunroof you would do fine- up to about 6'7" is OK.
Add the sunroof and you loose about 2 inches of headroom in my estimate- I sat in the car today and measured it.
Try to go to the dealership and find a mini with the sunroof and sit in it- you decide if it is enough headroom for you or not. You can also adjust the height of the seat itself- try setting the seat height to the lowest setting if needed.

I just took delivery on Tuesday and I'm 6'3" . My MCS has tons of head room for me and people love to see tall guys getting out of the tiny car!

I'm 6'2" and have the sun roof option. No problem at all with height. Since you can
easily adjust the seat up and down, there's alot of room to play with to make yourself comfortable. If I push the seat all of the way back, I can't reach the pedals.

Good Luck!
