I'm the same height, Monkey-Boy. Fit perfectly. Actually on the day of my test frive in an 'S', after I was done with the car, 4 grown adult sales people piled into it to go for lunch. They all fit and looked comfortable enough. Didn't look like they felt like going on a road trip or anything, but they fit. The only thing that took a little time was that I thought the pedals are too close together. Other than that, it's very accomadating for its size.
Cheers,

I'm 6'3" and this was a concern for me as well. Wouldn't slap down my money until I had sat in one and knew I'd fit. Heck, I wouldn't buy a pair of shoes with out trying them on and I certainly wouldn't get a new car without knowing I wouldn't get blisters. Lets just say my car gets delivered in August. I fit perfectly although I had to put the seat almost all the way back. Not much room for a passenger behind the driver but when the salesperson (a little smaller at 5'10" or so) took me out in the car at first, we fit myself, my main man sales guy Brad behind the wheel, my sister and her husband (6'1" in the back. Pretty impressive. Now I don't think that would be too comfortable for anymore than an hour or so but the MINI isn't really a family car is it?

Thanks, everyone. Can't wait to have a test drive. My last fun car was a 1987 911 Cabrio, which I sold in 1992 to buy a Ford truck and horse trailer for the now ex-wife. That may give you a clue as to why I divorced her! LOL
I'm not into expensive sports cars anymore. I just don't see the point, ya know? Instead, I spend my fun money on riding a motorcycle at track days. Thunderhill, Sears Point, Laguna, that sort of thing. I suspec the mini will have a great following for Mini track days. Count me in, eh?
Cheers!
