And then you'll spend all the extra $$$ modding your wife's Mini...

Joecoool in off topic bought one for his wife. They look cool.
I have heard that some of them have computer problems.

Friends wife has one. She loves it, good handling, goes OK (but the supercharged version would be better), good build quality, reliable & fun. My friends only complaint is that it needs a bit more power (but he drives a car that'd leave my Vette (& most other cars) for dead. Apparantly it's the best car in it's class. The roads here are swarming with them (& Elise's) & nobody seems to have any complaints with them (apart from my friend!). Best thing to do it's get a test drive in one.

Only know 2 ppl with the new Mini's and both would never buy again do to continual electrical problems. First person it died on the hiqhway bringing it home from the dealership. My 13 yr. old daughter loves them, my wife thinks they are way too small and my son (16) just laughs at the thought of getting one, he'd rather get an RX8. :cheers:

If I could get by with a small car, if I just needed something to commute in, I'd buy a Mini in a heartbeat. I think it's a really cool car.

But I also like the new Scion Xa, for the dough.

Every time I see one at a stop light, I expect to see a dozen or so clowns come pouring out. However, when gas hits $4.50/gal., this is what we'll all be driving...



It sure would be fun to drive over one (or a Mini) with a fully loaded cement truck!

NO WAY!!!! Do it properly..... with a Main Battle Tank :reddevil Makes a right mess & is highly satisfying :D That aquarium on wheels (Scion) looks like the same result would occur if a moped rode over it!!!
