had an opportunity to drive an 08 Mini Cooper, 6 spd
Man what a fun little car. I was quite impressed. Anyone have any dealings with 'em? It is easy to see the BMW in it.

Never been in one. I'd probably love to have one, but I'd hate to get whacked in one by another vehicle. High potential for lots of injuries, rather easily I would imagine...... :o

I believe "The Don" owns one...

new minis are pretty safe. My cousin rolled one somehow and he was unhurt. Another cousin got T-boned by a big rig in a mazda 2. She had a few scrapes and bruises but she came out ok Pretty impressive really.

I drove a Mini Cooper once. It was a customer's car and I didn't get to push it, but it seemed enjoyable during tame driving. |

Sell alot of them. Typical BMW. Easy to sell. Hard to keep the thing from breaking past the 30 day warranty period.
NOT a mechanic friendly car. Step 1 for just about everything is removing the entire nose. |

Dig them, super fun to drive!
Even though they are owned by BMW, they are still plagued by British car issues... That magical smoke... ;) |

It did suck to replace the clutch but after that everything compared to it is cake. Only take me 10 mins to put the nose in service mode20 to pull the radiator. |
