Actually, I got to look at one these while I was drooling over the '02 Maxima's (soon to have one in my possesion). To my surprise, they had one sitting on the lot..Not sure if it was a demo or brand new. I don't like the cars-They are sooo small and the intrument panel is weird. They are supposed to handle pretty well, but doesn't matter if you're going to get creamed by a heavy vehicle.

Come on, you guys. I bet there isn't a one of you that wouldn't itch to get your hands on an original Mini Cooper S. I've been in one of those bad boys and yeah, it's small. It will also turn on a dime . . . literally! And you couldn't make one flip over if you hit it sideways with a Mack truck. I'd put one up against just about any production vehicle made in the twisties. And if the new Mini Cooper can maneuver half as well as the original, it should be nothing but fun to drive.

OK, so not many people like the Mini S
I agree that they are small, and I wouldn't replace the Maxima with one, but I think that they would make a fun second car to zip around in.

A black one with a black roof and mirrors and some SSR Comps would look good... I would only consider the Cooper S though.

I like the one that H&R has in there ad in SCC mag with the deep dish wheels. I wanted a older one to cram a bunch of 12's in it and make a earthquake.

Look at it this way: easy parking.
Actually I kind of like the S model. The S model suppose to have 160 hp right? Who are the competitors? Sentra, Civic, Corolla, etc.?

I saw one sitting on a Volkswagen dealership lot last night. I thought it was a classic somebody had restored. Who makes these things anyway. It looked pretty cool I guess. I wouldn't want one as daily driver though. Would be nice as maybe a 4th or 5th car.

163hp 155lbs torque/supercharged and only 2678lbs. Hmmmmm small yes. But imagine the tunning possibilities. Play with supercharger, headers,exhaust and with an 8:1 compression a little juice and that sucker will FLY. But I would never buy one
