Teej said:I'm averaging 1 Mini sighting a day here in No. VA. And to me it definitely looks small, especially since there aren't that many small cars in the US compared to Europe, where I can imagine it being just another small hatchback. But a real good-looking and fun hatchback!
I saw a Yellow one with black roof and black stripes on the hood, and with rally-style foglights like in the old Mini, and it looked so cool! And no it didn't look like a cab.
Alas no Cooper S sightings yet though.
nate328Ci said:It is unusual because there are no Mini dealers in Texas yet, closest one is in New Orleans. But, this one was titled in Virginia.
It looked OK. But, I am disappointed. It looks WAY TOO BIG to be called a Mini. A letdown just like the new VW Beetle is front engine/front drive![]()

It just looked MUCH larger that the old Minis that I have seen :dunno:

I think it's funny that YOU (of all people here) are taking issue with it's size.

I put $1000 down on an S last June. Two days after putting the deposit, my wife told me that she was pregnant. Bought the wagon. Still have the money down on the MINI, but not sure how I can justify it right now. My dealer offered me a June production slot and I asked to move down the list to August production. Dunno what I'm gonna do. It's going to make a great autox car.

If you want an Auto-X car, you shouln't buy a new Mini. Get an old Miata and modify it a lot for MUCH less money.
Look into the Ford Focus SVT and save a few grand if you want new...

For new, I wouldn't go with the Focus SVT, however. It has no LSD! The Sentra Spec-V has plenty more room, is also a 6-speed, and has the legendary HELICAL LSD. Only the Spec-V and the late Integra Type-R have such a differential. :thumb:
