Wrong Information

MINI (Cooper & Cooper S) (2001 - current) The rebirth of a classic. The MINI is a blast back into the past when the Austin Mini was king of the small car world. BMW in engineering, but British in the design, the new MINI has many more changes from Austin’s Mini than just the capitalization of its name, but is not without it’s tributes to the old Mini, like front wheel drive, and a body so compact it seems impossible. But fear not, unlike the old Mini, the new MINI is able to sit people as tall as 6’6.

Where did they get this information? Because I'm 6'7 and I've comfortably driven both a "old mini" and a number of new MINIs. So, just wondering. lol, I'm bored :(

Well, to put it this way, I know I sit comfortably in the r56 at 6'6". In the classic Minis, I'm sure I coud fit, but comfortably, I dunno. Also, for some people, its longer legs that give the extra height (thats how I am) This means a lil more bend at the knees and you can sit in pretty much anything. However, if its the mid section that give the height (like my father) it comes down the headroom, and theres no getting around that.

I would love to sit in a classic mini tho to compare the two

Honestly I was surprised I even fit in the old mini and granted my legs were bent, but I guess at 21 my body is still young enough to make due sometimes, in a few years it might be a different story. I'm the same as you, were most my height comes from my legs and only a half of foot from my upper body.

I was just wanting to let ppl know that a person taller than 6'6 can have a great time driving a mini or a MINI!

You can be very tall and drive a MINI. You just can't be fat!
