Will I fit?

I have not bought a Mini yet, I am currently stationed in Japan and I am moving back to the states in 3 months, I have found a 2008 Mini Cooper Clubman for sale online that is in my desired price range but I am worried if I will fit in the car all together. I am 6'3", 220 lbs. I am wondering if i will have enough legroom. I don't want to buy one and then come to find out I don't even fit in the thing. Is there anybody around the same size out there that could ease my worries?

You will find yourself having PLENTY of room to spare. I'm 6'0 - 210, and have plenty of room in my Cooper S Convertible.

Welcome to NAM!

My husband is 6'1" and sits fine behind my 6spd Clubbie!

So far, nobody has failed to fit in my Clubman, but you never know. Find one and check your own body against it. The 2010 is the same size and the front seat area seems the same between the Coupe and the Clubman so there will be something at the dealer to try.

It will be cozy, but I think you will fit. Dirk Nowitzki Dallas Maverick forward fits into one.

No worries GoNavy. I'm 6-3 190 and fit in the current generation fine. I had an 07 MCS and am awaiting a '10 MCS to replace it.
Hope that helps, and Thank You for your service!

6'2, 220 here.. NO issues whatsoever. I don't even have the seat all the way back, I think I'm 2 (long) clicks short of max.. and I'm long-legged for my height. You'll be FINE.

6'5" 165 pounds. No problems at all. You'll be fine. They're very deceiving from the outside.

My hubby is 6'2", 240-ish and he has plenty of leg room... the drivers seat isn't all the way back. Plus there are a couple guys in MetroplexMINI.org that are 6'8 or so. I think you'll be fine!
