I'm not going to bag on your car too much.

I drove the older Chrysler powered CooperS and found it to be like the Daihatsu Charade FROM HELL!!!!. All supercharged and serious stick where the Charade was weak and soft in the same size package.

My biggest problem with the current Minis?

Peugeot Citroën engine.

In the awe inspiring words of Tom and Ray Magliozzi, "Never, ever, buy a French car, unless you live in France."

It's always been a fun car to drive, handles like a dream and is much cheaper than buying a v8 camaro. If you haven't driven one and are trying to compare it to your vette, please rethink your position in a lot of arguements

Yeah man, whatever fits you. Hell, you may drive a Camaro and feel that it's too heavy, or doesn't handle the way you like.

Mini coopers are awesome little cars. And they are pretty quick too As long as your happy with it. I love the camaro to man, but I really love the corvette as well. 5 bucks says after I test drive the two, I will come home with a caddilac CTS... You gotto get what you like man.

LOL, a year old post .

But as long as I'm stoppin' by...

Mini Coopers aren't for me because I don't live near a dealer and my family doesn't fit well.

I personally don't think there is a way that any car lover can drive an 'S' model and not come away with a new respect. It may not be the car for you but they are truly a 'drivers car'.
