    Default My recomendation

    alright i am in the mood to do some constructive whoring...

    if anyone is in the market for a nice car with good mileage and a good price chack out the mini cooper....i was lookin at one for 16 and change and they went up to 27 for a fully loaded s......test drove one like below that was 22 which was the base 115hp motor 5 speed and loaded interior....28 36 mpg which was awesome and as far as handling and pick up goes i was highly highly impressed with the car....

    who cares bout the stats man... thats the faggiest car in history...

    If the remake of Italian Job never came out every1 would say the same thing...


    if you had 22k to spend ... lol cmon man... who would even CONSIDER that car with all of the other options in that range... and an RX8 will kill that car in EVERY sense for the same price.

    I drove a Cooper S up 129 and 60, and that thing is great! very peppy cars, turn in is great, and it could stop on a dime. Only problem is, that most people who own Mini's are sped's......

    I think RX8's are highly over-rated...he was just saying something different that not everyone here has really brought up before.

    so no one here has wives who like somthing other than a civic?
    no one has daughters who might want somthing fun when they turn 16?
    if it isn't an asian import it's not a cool car?
    the old mini's were sick as hell the new ones are awesome....they handle great and have a fairly decent power to weight ratio....quit being so worried about what the world sees as acceptable and live life

    let's see bmw quality for alot cheaper than the lowest model 3 series coupe...and actually hell yea i'd consider it...throw on some bbs wheels a turbo and a mild drop and you'd have one hell of a fun car....and all the while getting killer gas mileage awesome parking spaces most cars would have to pass up, being able to parellel (SP?)park in practically ANY parking spot.....seems to me that the mini is a killer car for the price

    true... but still to me, they are a universal symbol of homosexuality... not that there is anything wrong with that... just my opinion... I do hear mad ppl saying that they handle like beasts..

    with 22k id get a 96 300zxTT and then some upgrades .... or if you look hard enough you can find an older stang COBRA

    but the mini may perform well modded just may be an acquired taste i guess?

    only thing is to me i would rather have a new car than an early 90's....only way i'd get an older car is if it's a muscle car....i like new vehicles and considering you can get a very nicely equiped mini built by bmw for the same price as a civic it's kinda hard to compare....

    Why get a '96 when you can get the '94 that comes with a better transmission, and more power, and it's easier to tune than a '96 because it has OBDI instead of the '96s OBDII.

    A Cobra won't handle nearly as well as a 300ZXTT or a Mini, just to let you know.

    id get a 96 simply because of the rarity...and all cobras have somewhat of a pimpness factor... if i was going for performance although the Z32s are nice cars... id much rather get a MKIV Supra TT (used, but possible)

Damn sum1 on this forum needs to buy one that cant be restored then pimp it out... lol somehow let it push out 100hp from its lawnmower motor ... (thatd make a fast ass car lol)... damn but seriously that would be a good way to get around... id crack up if I saw it on the highway.

    I dig the cars but I don't dig the stuffiness of the showroom.

    I was dressed normally when I went to check them out and no one wanted to talk to me. No big deal, we went across teh street and bought my father in law a new 350Z roadster that same afternoon.

    I dig it, but I haven't driven it... but I'd not even think about putting it on my to do's anywhere near my s2K.

    I personally didn't like the one I drove. It wasn't as spacious as people said it was. They made the pedals about an inch wide so you could actually use both your feet to stop. I drove the base one, with no supercharger. And it was about 13k, not worth it imo.

    I just think it is funny that everyone is jumping on the bandwagon calling them fag cars. "Only fags drive mini coopers", I guess if you have that mentality then it is the same as saying "Only ricers drive honda/acuras" and it can go on. The car is not bad, the S model would be the only one to get grant it as the base would not have the performance that would be desired. It has a good german engineered suspension, small and agile, and with the S model decent power.

    ^^^good post Teg

    i think they are cute little cars! i love 'em. i would drive one because it is too small for my taste (I prefer big cars, I feel safer in 'em), but I like 'em
    Seen it all, done it all, can't remember most of it!

    I don't think that Mini's are "Fag" cars. The only car I feel that way about is the Miata. I really don't care how fast it is, or how well it can do on a track. I wouldn't be caught dead driving one.

    Not to mention I had trouble fitting in an S2000, and that is suppose to be bigger than a Miata.
