I'm 6'4" can I fit?

Ok, i'm hooked after watching italian job, researching the plethora of aftermarket goodies, and the freaking option list blew my mind! (HID, NAV, Heated Seats ETC.)

THE PROBLEM.

I'm 6'4" weighing in at 205 lbs. Am I gonna feel cramped in this thing? How's the headroom/legroom? I know nobody is going to be able to sit behind me but what the hell, nobody can sit behind me in my E-class either.

I'm 6'2 200lbs and I have PLENTY of room. I can't see you'd have any problem. Best bet is to just go to a dealership and sit in one. I have my seat all the way down, and almost all the way back. If I go all the way back, it's too far, so you should be fine.

My brother in law has a Mini Cooper S and I also like it a lot. If you are 6' 4" you will probably be able to fit if u slide the seat all the way back, and it would still be a tight fit.

This car is designed to fit a person of your size no problem. People have such a placebo that this car is small. This car has twice the internal room of a Porsche 996 or Acura NSX. next time you sit in one stretch your arm to the other side or to the back deck I think you'll be surprised at the interior room.

Yeah, I know this is an older thread, but I thought I'd post anyways.

I'm 6'5" 190 lbs. I fit quite nicely in the car and was comfortable on the 30 minute test drive.

I have the old mini '86 Austin Mini as my second car.
I'm 6'3", 230lbs and its a tight fit but it's ok so I think you shouldn't have a problem getting in the new one which is a lot bigger.
