I've driven A mini but not a type-S Great little car. handles awesome, nice interior, Power wasnt there but most definatly will be with the Type-S. A little pricey. alittle more gas hungry then our civics surprisingly.

Cool, I really want to take one for a test drive. Im looking to buy a used one 2002 model for low 20's. I love the unique-ness of them and the fact that there are none in the Barrie area. Great little car for marketing too, plus my rims would be a direct swap. Gotta sell the Civic first though.

I considered a mini when I was shopping around before I bought my EL. Since I was looking for a car with an auto tranny, I only test drove the regular Mini though, not the S. Nonetheless, it was still a fun car to drive, had decent power (although it did feel slower than the EL), handled nicely, and seemed well put together. In the end, I wanted something a little bigger, so thats why I took it off my list.

there not that much more narrow then our civics, i pulled up close to one and its only a slighter bit more narrow.

Just make sure you dont get the one with the British flag on it.

I think im going to test drive the SMART car, heh I could have some fun snaking cars with that tiny thing on my daily commute downtown
