saw one parked this week and spoke with the owner - he said it gets 35 mpg and drives like a sports car, without the insurance penalties (?) of a mini-cooper. still, seems a little pricey, no? ( i am poor, and have no idea what new cars cost, tho i thought the mini was available in the low $20's? $30k?)
