without reading pages 3 and 4... my dad had a mazda 3 (not speed) as a rental car recently... I felt like I was trapped inside a tiny egg when I had to move it.

All of Acura's grills are horrible...I dont know wtf they are thinking.

:nod:

:nod:


I love driving it! :nod:

pictures.

:nod:

ttiwwp

How is the room in it for you? I know I would have no problem fitting in one for a dd. And did you get the turbo I assume?

i think its a supercharger

Yea I got the turbo version. As far as the space goes - I was hesitant about Mini's at first, in a way I'm used to driving the SRX and it is certainly bigger than a mini. However, when I sat in a cooper there was plenty of space, in fact the seat was all the way back and I barely could reach the pedals... I'm 6', 185lbs and I feel like the seats were made for me :lol: I find it very comfortable, at least so far.

Total miles in two days ~ 260 :lol:

2002 - 2006 are supercharged, 2007+ are Turbo.



Here are some pics, crappy ones. I took the just before leaving so yea... I need alex or noah to take my pics. :lol:

I think this key is cool, i don't. It's just different, I guess.

Ill get better pictures sometime in the spring...

the angle makes it look long? its not a clubman is it?

oh and thanks on the forced induction enlightenment above :)

Its funny, today I picked up the new issue of Motor Trend, and they did an 8 car comparo, using all the cars you picked including the Cobalt SS, Caliber SRT4, but had the Mini Clubman S, not the regular Mini.

Rankings went as such
1: GTI
2: Cobalt SS
3: Mazdaspeed 3
4: WRX
5: Civic Si
6: Mitsui Lancer Ralliart
7: Mini Clubman S
8: Caliber SRT4

Nahh, it's just my picture taking skill... It's lacking today. It a Mini Cooper S.

Well damn, should have went with a GTI! :lol:




I like my car, so I'm satisfied.

its sweet man have fun and good luck with it

Nice color Vitals, good luck with it!

good luck Vitals, glad you're happy with the Mini.

Not that I'm trying to get rid of you or anything, but check out http://www.northamericanmotoring.com - good mini forum.
