Do you feel the back seat is safe for small children? Seems a risky spot, no protection from rear-ending.

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.)
