Looking for tall Mini drivers(opinion)
 
Curious about tall owner / operators out there. I do not own a Mini, but drove a few while stationed in England. Not the style available in the US now. As a tall person I learn to adapt to what I'm driving and usually don't think twice about small cars.

You tall people out there know what I'm talking about...

Seat back to the max. Seat reclined and steering wheel slightly adjusted.

How are you enjoying your Mini's tall people???

Thanks in advance.

Steve

My buddy is 6' 4" and took mine for a spin and loved it enough to go order one ...

I'm 6' and can push the seat so far back I can't reach the pedals.

I have two tall friends who have driven my Mini. One is 6'6". We were on a rode trip and shared driving duties. He was expecting problems, but didn't have any. He was pleasently surprised by that.
Another friend who is about 6'3" drove my car and didn't like it because hit head brushed against the edge of the sunroof opening. He insisted in having his seat high and fully upright. He is used to driving a pick-up. A Mini doesn't seat you like a pick-up.
