Year	Body/Powertrain	Comment
2012	2dr Hatch 121-horsepower 1.6L I4 6-speed manual FWD	Rear seat room is extremely limited but it's a Mini...not a mini van! see full Mini Hardtop review
2012	2dr Hatch 121-horsepower 1.6L I4 6-speed manual FWD	We're tall and have room to spare. see full Mini Hardtop review

2011 Volkswagen Jetta SportWagen Seat Room and Comfort: Pros
Year	Body/Powertrain	Comment
2011	4dr Wagon 170-horsepower 2.5L I5 6-speed shiftable automatic FWD	I am a tall guy with big feet, so my vehicle choices are greatly restricted. The Jetta Sportwagen (Golf Wagon here in Canada) is very comfortable on long drives. see full Volkswagen Jetta SportWagen review
