Hi, I already have a 2014 mini mini cooper hatch diesel manual that my short legged wife refuses to drive as she says her wee fat belly gets in the way of the steering wheel when she try's to operate the pedals. I'm now considering to buying her a 2014 countryman automatic but was wondering if the driving position is any different from the mini cooper hatchback I have. (She prefers automatics).
I also have a rather large dog which I wondered if the countryman would be suitable for it.
Many thanks.
