 I spent enough time on the Mini forums while I was shopping around to know that's a good option  Love the car, hope you enjoy it!

There's actually more room in there than one might think. A guy at the office has one, and he can stuff more computers, monitors and servers in the back of that car than you would have thought possible. Also, I got a friend who is way over 6 feet tall (I'm 6-1, and I have to look up), and he fits in his mini quite comfortably.

Nice ride! I think a mini GTG is in our future! (well, virtual GTG anyway
) The option you have that I want is that cup holder. I thought the NB's were bad, these are horrendous!

 I'm not going to sugar coat it. Minis are 'compact cars' but I'm 6' and fit comfortably in mine. I wish that the seats would go down closer to the ground/floorboard because that's how I'm use to rollin' but I'm sure I'll get use to it. Quote:

I think its probably the most fun car I've owned out of all 35 - and after the Z4 I didn't think that was possible. Its definitely the quickest car I've owned; and the JCW tuning upgrades make all the difference in the world.

Well, it's a super keen car, that is what I think. Of all the Iconic cars I have owned (VW Bug, both old and new, Jeep Wrangler, Prius, Mustang), the Mini is still on my list of Iconic cars I would love to own.

NOICE!
not really fan of the new mini's, but that one i'd definitely take out back and show it a good time. now, if they only made one that had a usable back seat...
