We (comfortably) fit three people and three dogs in it, and if you have a friend or family member who has an SUV for those every now and then trips to Home Depot or Ikea, it's pretty awesome.

My sister has a Mini Cooper S too. When she was in town a few weeks ago, I drove it. Great fun to drive.
But fitting three people and three dogs comfortably? Those had to be some smallish people and some smallish dogs. For me, it's easy enough to move the front seat to get comfortable, but it pretty much robs any room for anyone in the backseat who isn't from Lilliput.
And I'm not 6'11 like Hank, either. On the internets or otherwise.
(ETA re: ncs' comment. I am, however, as tall as Coltrane on the internets. I would say there is certainly enough headroom/legroom for someone my height, given my prior caveat. The biggest challenge w/r/t the Mini, at least for me, was having to climb up to exit a vehicle, instead of climb down. That's either because I am A) brittle, or 2) out of practice.)
