and a jaguar xjs

My old LS backseat was so comfortable my mate who's 6"2 and a large thick set bloke fitted nicely and exclaimed how roomy it was and comfortable in the back

i wldnt say so comfy in the back ive been in the back while a mate was driving once and there was defiantly no room knees around your ears but it is possible to get people in there ive squeezed 5 blokes into mine or 4 sheilas in the back 2 blokes in the front
not comfortable but possible

cheers bob

Im a little over 6 foot, i have a late clubby though i think they have more room cause the seat goes further back (ive driven a mates cooper s and its got heaps less room even when the seat is adjusted all the way)

But i love it, heaps of people wonder how i fit buts its easy just have to lift knee over steering wheel.

Anyway its funny when im drivin and have the seat all the way back and then i put two of my brothers in the back (who are both 6 foot or taller), there legs are basically crushed -- all that matters is that im comfortable though. They hate it but its all fun, then they have to climb out of the back and thats a funny site


There Great

Hey good choice

well im on the top side of 6"2 and have size14 feet, n i owned a 78 clubman and with no modifications i fitted fine, sure driving to my brothers place on the mountains i put my left leg into the passanger footwell for comfort, but thats gotta be expected, as in the end it is still a mini, but i find i fit with no worries altho the clubbies do hav e noticably more room them the roundies. although i neva could drive with shoes on due to the size of the peddles, so i always had to take my shoes off to drive which eventually did get slightly annoying so that is something to watch out for!

Yep, same here. I have size 11 feet, so i stick with my sneakers whenever I go for a drive.

Also from a 1994 Charade.. Very comfy but like Poeee, I am vertically challenged....

Well. I'm 5"6. I find that I have to pull the seat all the way forward and when I have my seat belt adjusted confortably, I cant reach the ignition panel.
The guy that owned the mini before me had all the switches located in a small box between the driver and passengers seat in the back, as he couldnt reach them from his seat when he had it all the way back.

Doesnt matter what seats he had, he couldnt reach the dash board, so he moved them.
