Erol, Ron, Nemo and agadoijo, Thanks for the responses and great inspirations with yours and other's builds. Lot's of good ideas to work off of. I love how Nemo's has the curved part going from the sides/doors into the glass, but you definitely lose a stud by doing that I was thinking about using part 11477 curved, slope 2x1 no studs and mount it vertically to give a hint of curve, but save a little bit of space. One cheat I considered is using 99780 1x2 Inverted Bracket for the hip joint to better represent the size and scale of a seated MF. Aside from possibly offending purests, the disadvantage of that is a lack of lean which can also help fit the figure in. Hopefully, I'll have a finished product to show you all. Thanks again

@Ron, Thanks so much for a detailed description. I guess I should have better explained my problem to get the desired response. My goal isn't to make a car that necessarily fits into Lego City. I want to build a 2 seater Mini Cooper that still looks like a Mini because it is a gift for my wife and if I can put a MF to represent both her and I the gift is more meaningful. Therefore, I am less worried about how it looks compared to other vehicles or buildings, but more concerned that it retains it's own identity while transporting 2 MFs.

Like the OP I am trying to build a 2 minifig Mini Cooper. Two2seven suggests that it would be 5 studs wide. However, is it possible to even build a 5 stud car that can fit 2 MFs? If anyone has successfully built a 5 or 6 wide Mini that can fit 2 MFs, I would love to take a look. Thanks.
