Does anyone know how many cubic feet the interior of a Cooper is?

I know it's a strange question...but I must know this.

 

Oh, no ya don't ... !
... if you wanna win that MicroMachine contest, you'll have to figure it out all on your own!

 

The cargo space is 9 cubic feet, 24 cubic feet with seats folded down.

 

No it's not for that contest...I'm not entering. We were just talking about it at work. :smile:

 

Ants,

Does that include the front seat area? L.'s looking for INTERIOR cubes, not just cargo space.

 

No it does not include the front seats. Only whats deemed the "cargo area". Hold on Ill check my product guide from when I was a Motoring Advisor.

It doesnt give the interior dimensions per say, but here are the overall dimensions. This is for a Cooper CVT:

Length: 142.8 inches

Height: 55.4 inches

Width: 66.5 inches

Wheelbase: 97.1 inches

Weight: 2557 pds

 

I'm 6 ft 3 and my waist is 32 inches. I have plenty of head and leg room. I'm no math wiz but I think I could calculate my "volume" with those numbers. 75 (6'3" in inches) x 32 is 2400 cu/inches. I can sit in any of the other 3 seats so 2400 x3 is 7200 cu/in. If I remove the rear deck, I can fit in the boot with the hatch closed. I may also be able to lay on the dash and not take up any of the space displace by sitting in the seats too. I'd venture a guess of 14,400 cu/inches.

If there were six of me, two of me might be able to sit in the front seats and rear seats while the other two laid across my laps width-wise. Now we're at 16,800 cu/in. I think.

Add a couple more of me in there to take up any space I missed and I'd estimate 21,600 cu/inches.
