i had a mini as my 1st car an its great !
all the parts are cheap and u can do the london to brighton mini run !
watch out thou wen u start with a mini u cant stop wantin to do stuff with it.
ita may be slow but its prob the best fun u can hav in a car and that has 80bhp so it wuill be quite quick due to weight and so on ! im tempted myself.

If those four people are the size of Tony (Half Pint), then yes. If those four people are the size of SteveW, then no.
That said, i'm 6' 3' and I can actually drive a Mini quite comfortably.
