Yes, the Beetle is amazingly comfortable to drive for short and tall people
(when it's not in the shop, that is).

I imagine that there are very few cars that have enough head and leg room
for your 6'7'' frame. What cars can you comfortably drive?

Nonetheless, I just wanted to point out how spacious the front seats in the
Mini are. Many people have never driven or ridden in one of the new Minis
and so wouldn't know.

Yes, the back seats are strictly for insurance purposes, grocery bags, and
very small children!

| That may be great for most people, however, when I sit in the driver's
side
| of a Mini, I need to tilt my head and have it stick out a bit in the sun
| roof when I'm sitting up "straight". If the car doesn't have a sun roof,
| well,...it doesn't look pretty. I will admit that when I was in the
| co-driver's side, I was able to pull the seat back and lean back.
|
| (Also, I doubt most folk would be unable to sit in the back seat of a
Mini.)
