Actually James, you might have to be about 7ft to not fit in the new MINI.
Just like the old, it's very spacious inside, but this time, even more
headroom.
I posted this off list to another racer, but I should also warn others.  One
of the big discrepancies, besides lack of a "local" dealer for some, is the
service issue.  To get manufacturer service, it will HAVE to be done at a
MINI dealership.  BMW dealerships are no more authorized than your Isuzu or
Mazda dealership.  So, for those of you having to drive 3 or even 6 hours to
a dealership, would have to do the same for manufacturer service checks.
