The rear seat is usable only as a package tray, though it does serve to hold a second carry-on bag. see full Mini Convertible review |

I'm 6'3. With the seat all the way back I can't reach the pedals. I really don't need to say more. see full Buick Verano review |

If you're tall, prepare for cramping if you have anyone needing to sit behind you. I cannot explain the lack of room here. With my seat in my long range riding position (as far back as I can go with my feet still reaching the pedals) there is 1 and a half inches between the edge of the back seat and the kneeboard on the back of the drivers seat. There is no human capable of putting their leg behind that. see full Buick Verano review |
