I've been looking at them also... I feel what they lack in HP they make up for in low weight, plus you can't beat the excellent gas mileage. Plus free maintenance for 3 years. I wish I had an extra 26K in the bank.

 

Mini03S has one and seems to like it.

 

THEYVE GOT SOO MUCH FUCKING ROOM INSIDE! IM A BIG BOY AND MAN IT HAS MORE LEG ROOM THAN MY SRT-4!

 

I have one, its an 03 mini cooper S chili red and white. I really like it alot. Its a blast to drive and its kinda peppy feeling. Uh ask me anything you want to know and ill fill you in. Mine is supercharged and its alright, but the turbo motors in the new ones are a hell of alot better. But with the new ones they changed the whole body from the ground up and i dont really care for the way they look compared to the body style I own, but thats all personal preference. Car has a strong following, many say its a cult car. Like i said you have questions i have answers.

 

Thanks for the info.....

 

Free Plug for me:
