Mini Coopers
i’ve wanted a Mini Cooper for YEARS and i was just wondering, are they comfortable? they look quite cramped. and is it a good choice for a first time driver?
They are pretty roomy for such a small car. They’re great! I love mine!
The only problem is that if someone in the front is 2 meters tall or more & they are sitting in the front with the seats pushed back anyone in the back seat will be cramped.
If you’re looking for a car that needs a lot of space I really wouldn’t suggest getting a Mini, but if you don’t have to worry too much about transporting a car pool then it’s definitely no big deal.
It’s a great choice for a couple of other reasons as well. It keeps a good % of it’s value (i think it’s like 60%) so if you decide to turn around & resell it or use it as a trade-in you’ll get a great price for it. Also, it’s an incredibly safe car! It’s loaded with safety features. A co-worker of mine had a mini before i got mine, and he (being the idiot that he is) drove it home drunk one night and slammed his mini into a guard-rail on the highway. The whole front end was smashed, but one thing that was different than most front end crashes is that the interior of the car looked perfect. Most front end crashes push the interior of the car in, but the interior was perfect and he was left with only minor injuries.
Overall it’s a fun car, very safe & i would recommend it to anyone who enjoys having fun while motoring. 
Also, you’ll notice that you will get a lot of waves, honks & thumbs up from other mini owners that you see on the road. The mini community is very friendly!
Good luck! 
If/when you get a mini you should put up some pictures of it.
p.s. the person before me mentioned lower back problems & it being like “sitting on a stool.” I thought i’d add that i’ve never had any such problems with the car. I have a sport package included in my car which has sport-style seats which may be why there’s a difference in opinion. Also, the issue with riding rough…. I have never experienced that either, but again…. the sport package includes sport suspension so that may be the difference there.
I would suggest taking one for a test drive & see how you like it. I don’t think you will be disappointed.
