I really hope this hasnt been asked a million times, im guessing it has. I have searched but have found nothing similar to what im asking.

Ive viewed a few mini's with standard interior. I am 6ft1, maybe 6ft2. Im just a bit concerned with head room hah!

How many of you are as tall as me and have no problems? If i fit after maket seats, for example bucket seats will that lower the seating position thus giving me more head room

Thanks rob

I'm 6ft3 ish and large and my car has standard mini seats and theres loads of room! I'm going to fit nicer seats sometime but theres no shortage of room. Its officially a myth that minis are small

6ft 6 and i could sit in standard mini seats with no problem, but i have the extension bracket and lots of room with my bucket seats now.

im 6ft 1 and i have no problems, maybe on a long journey with knees but its nothing major, and you could always fit extension brackets like people have said if you find it a problem

I'm only 5'6'',have a lowered Motolita steering wheel,and a 60s style bucket seat as far back as I can get it.Mind you I drive with arms and legs out straight,like Nuvalari.

Just fit extension brackets and move the seat back. there is plenty of head room, but the seat brackets ease you knees and you are not folded up like a contortionist.

Just under 6ft3 and I drive a MINI PICK UP with no major problems!

[miniman44]

Yeh,but you sit behind the cab,or so I've heard.

I wonder if there's any way we could have something about mini driver's height, the button on the dash that looks like a brake pedal and also where to get insurance from as part of the sign up process?

Anyways, you'll be fine at your height, there's lots you can do to modify a mini without even changing the seats and get plenty of leg room.

Im 5ft 11" and still growing and fit in standard mini seats no problem with about an inch and a half maybe more headroom

Rooooooo, Rooooooo, post the piccies of either me (6'6" and 21 stone) or Nev Payne (6'7" and "ahem" a bit thinner than me) getting in and out of his Mini. We can then put that on the front page!
