United-States New Member... Need Help..

OK,
So I am looking at buying one of these MINI Coopers and have fallen in love with them. However I have a few questions and concerns about them. First I am 6'3 and about 235. Will this be a uncomfortable daily driver? Also I saw the Cooper S option with the dual Guages.. What are the other benefits of the S Package? Also what would be a ballpark figure for a basic S model? Thanks in advance with your help.. I may have seen a few of you guys up at Deals Gap a few times... I love that road on a bike, I can only imagine what it would be like in one of these cars..

Let the Bashing Begin..
Marc

Re: Dual Guages ...

I'm assuming you saw a MINI equipped with the Navigation System, which replaces the large center pod speedo and necessitates a small speedo in tandem with the tach on the steering column. This configuration is also present with the new Chrono Guage Package.

Not to worry. I'm 6'4'' and (last time I looked) tipped the scale at about 210. Lots of room. I don't even have the seat all the way back. Sure, it's tough to haul four of me at any one time, but since I don't do that, I'm not too worried.
