the MINI looks better than the new beetles, in my opinion. it is not gonna work in america cuz of our wide open roads. MINI and new civic SI were designed for cramp city lanes.

yes you're right but at 2550 lbs. and more HP than the Protege it's still fast and fun.

there is only one Mini so far that runs at the club I go to, and he's slow. It's not the car but the driver.
