Thanks for the advice guys! My son is 15 and my daughter is 11. They will fit in the Mazda Sportwagon just fine, but the Cooper S will be tight. My wife's car (Mazda) will be the "family car" and my car (Cooper S) will be the "commute car". I think we'll get both cars and I'll drive Helga (911) on the weekend when the weather permits. After owning Ford vehicles since'91, this will be a big change for us.
