Hello, I am 6ft1 tall and I am thinking of buying my first mini, I am concerned as to how comfortable I would be able to get or if I would even be able to get into and drive standard mini. If there are any tall drivers out there, I would be grateful to hear of your experiences. Thanks.

my boyfiend is over 6ft and he fits in a mini quite well. as long as you have a smallish steering wheel so it doesnt hit your knees and seats that go back far enough for your legs to fit in then you should be fine!

I'm 6' tall and have no probs, they are like the Tardis on the inside. Depending what your going to be do your mini, you could buy atermarket seats and fit them wee you like them to give you more leg room. I have fitted mine lower and right back behind the cross member so my legs are now out straight and almost parralel.

No worries on te height issue. I too am 6'1 and I can sit in mine like nothing but then again they have always said that the mini is more than 80% interior.

If you fit ANY sort of aftermarket seats, you'll be very comfy!

Note by aftermarket i do not mean just bucket seats, but go to a scrappy and find some japanese car seats for like 30-40 quid, they are usually very nice
