im 6'5'' and i feel comfortable in a standard seat just have the lack of head room. but i recently put buckets into mine and the differene... i have much more leg room as the seat travels further back, plus the seat is lower therefore more head room! woop!!!

CORRECTION = Listen Buddy, I Paul_K_94 am not on this site for a row and i am not a mini expert either it is just i seen a few mini's in magazines and on the internet with power assisted steering so i figured all mini's have power steering. Honestly, I do not have a mini and i know frog all about them so I am on here to find out about them before I buy one!!!!
AND AS I SAID I AM NOT ON HERE FOR A ROW BUT I THINK YOU ARE SAD FOR PICKING ON A 15 YEAR OLD "buddy"
now can you all help me?

Just to wrap things up here, Not all Minis have power steering and very little do. It is posible to put power steering in yourself but if power steering is standerd in a Mini it would only be on the later models. As for the drop brackets you can buy them for little or nothing and they just lower your steering wheel so your not streching like a mother f**ker!
Any more questions?
