People don't believe me when I tell them that I can drive a MINI comfortably. I'm 6 feet tall and I don't even have to move my seat all the way forward! Whose the tallest driver out on this forum?!
I got built to a height of 6'-4".... And my MINI has the sunroof, which lowers the headroom. No problems whatsoever... And I don't even have the seat track pushed all the way back..
I'm 6'4" and had an r56 and now an r52 and neither I kept the seat all the way back. In fact I borrowed a friends Tahoe the other day and my head kept touching the ceiling. I had forgotten what that felt like since having the MINIs.
I'm 6'6". Just ordered our CM JCW, but i was so impressed by how much room I have in the car(we test drove the CM S). The steering wheel adjusts up nice and high, and there is plenty of room in the footwell so that heel/toeing is not a problem, even with my size 13's !!
I'm 6'2" and I get asked too.. how do you fit in that MINI I had less headroom in a trailblazer. Scroll down about half way to see 4 tall guys driving MINI's MINI USA - Not Normal
I'm 5'6". Obviously no problem fitting inside then, but still get asked if its spacious enough. They are deceptive looking little buggers. :lol:
I'm 6'2" and drive R56. Owned a '64 mini while living in the UK from '72-'76. Yes, I'm kinda tall and very old and can still fit in a MINI. :ihih:
There's a lot of us that are 6'4'' and own these great Cars. I was getting gas the other day and on the other side of the pump was this guy that was at lease 6'8" and asked how I fit in the MINI. Well I invited him to have a seat inside, he was amazed how much room there was. Now any more questions!
I used to go to the same dentist as Dirk (He's a pro basketball player, for those who don't know him). One day, he was on his way out of the back office while I was on my way in the same door. I looked up at him and was in awe. What's funny, is that I wasn't in awe of running into a famous pro athlete. I was in awe of his height! I'm 6'4" and rarely have to lift my head to look at anyone. He was SUBSTANTIALLY taller than I was and it kinda freaked me out. At that time, I didn't even know who he was... he probably thought I was a star-struck fan. I fit just fine into my '06 MCS (including a sunroof). I could even fit w/ my helmet (though I had to duck my head a bit to the right to fit it into the sunroof frame). About once a year, after I lowered the suspension and hardened all of the bushings, I'd hit a pot hole or something in the road and jar my head into the roof, but it didn't happen too often.
I'm 6'6" and perfectly comfortable in my 2010 R56 S. I'm actually the 6'6" guy in the MINI Not Normal ad!
Did they give you the car as payment. Or did u just buy a car, and they were like "hey ur tall, and buying one, we need to for advertisement " .. I'm curious how that went down
I'm 6'10" and drove a Clubman until just recently. Again, didn't have the seat all the way back so that the kids could still sit behind me. Used to own a classic convertible as well.
