2015 Mini Hardtop Seat Room and Comfort: Cons | ||
Year | Comment | |
The 4 Door has 1.5 inches more rear legroom than the regular Hardtop, but 32.3 inches still isn't much. At 5-9, I can squeeze behind myself with perhaps an inch between my knees and the carved-out front seatbacks. Rear headroom is relatively abundant even though the seat cushion is mounted a comfortable height off the floor. The rear doors, though an improvement over the Clubman's single rear-hinged half-door, are still small and don't open wide. A Ford Fiesta ST might be at least as tight in the back seat, but the GTI, with 35.6 inches of rear legroom, is far roomier and easier to get into and out of. see full Mini Hardtop review |

Very comfortable,deep, luxurious and spacious rear seating (no middle seat) positioning your passengers in from the doors and with a usable middle platform. Awesome headroom for a coupe style car - I am 6ft and can sit tall. see full BMW X6 review |
