    I disagree, any decent looking aftermarket wheel and this would still be a sharp car. I do agree that anyone who says they don't like the Mini but likes this car is just swinging on CCW's nuts.

    How can you hate a Mini? You drive a Del Sol, possibly the cutest, most adorable car ever made. This isn't a jab at you or your car, I just don't understand.

    true!

    im the only guy in the shop that works on mini coopers, 90% are S models, and the test drive is the best part!
    was working on one today, actually.

    and both of those cars are hot!

    People who hate on Mini's just haven driven one. My friend used to have an 07 S and they're fun as hell to drive. That would still look great with any good set of wheels.

    I wouldn't say that. I owned two of them and they never lacked where it counted. Sure, in a straight line they are not blazing fast but they weren't made for that.

    looks clean, but Minis look more girly than miatas IMO. I could really see some long leg, long hair, b-cup, burnette with a tight leather jumpsuit stepping out of that vehicle.
