i love our cooper s. we are talking about adding another one to the family and letting the boy have the current one. it's definitely a big, fun, fast and quick go cart. and with the 6 spd, it's just too much fun. wheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee I've always thought those would be fun little cars, but I'm not sure how practical it would be for me. I'm 6'3" so not only would I question how well I'd fit, but half the reason I got my SUV was so that I wouldn't feel like i'm lifting myself off of the ground every time I get out, or vice versa for getting in. That's a long way for me to crouch down to get into every day. With my Explorer I basically slide right in without having to drop my hips. I love it. i'm 6'2" and 228pds. i fit fine. the doors are huge, the seats go waaay back and it doesn't give off the feeling of being as low to the ground as it actually is. my son is 5'8", and sitting behind my wife, he has plenty of room. in short, it's not a family car, but can do a short bit of duty and it's not as hard to get in and out of as one might think. wheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee Same with my dad's Accent 3 door. I'm 6'0" and I have managed on more than a few excursions to curl up in the backseat to catch some Zzz's. Works fairly well for up to three Americans, luggage included, as a matter of fact. Nice car. three americans? What is the ratio of americans to other nationalities? I suppose you can fit four (with luggage) provided two are narrow shouldered/narrow hipped. I don't think it would be the best way to take a road trip for 4, but it sure wouldn't be the worst
