Mini Cooper Drove It Today
I drove the mini coooper S today, it soooo small but quick as hell, ride wasnt bad at all, lots of wierd looking instruments. just the thought a little car with 160hp will smoke our car was just scary, nice car. definetly will get one as a car to rip around in.
only thing bad i didnt like was the clutch, doesnt goo too far down, so you dont get enough space to rev from a full stop, too sensative.

not alot of clutch travel, and your comlaining!?!

i hate cars with a deep clutch... like most other BMW's..... fucking 3-series feels like your driving a truck.
sounds like the mini got an M-style clutch

In a straight line, the Mine Cooper-S would be a good match for a CLP, not CLS
Pretty cool car though. Just wouldn't want to get into an accident with some soccer mom in her Excursion though

I like the mini cooper.
There is a dealership near my office, and I see at least 4-5/day.
They are unique looking.
Too girly though.
I say keep it OVERSEAS!

It's "cute" (don't worry, I'm married) but I wouldn't spend 22K+ on it. Of course, I would rather have a Mini than a Beetle (those are just gay)

I like them, I think they are waaaaaay cooler than Beetles, Focuses, and other cars in that range. I think bringing them to the US was a good idea. I also hear that they are very safe considering their small size.

Actually, you'd really have to do ALOT of tweaking the supercharger doesn't really bring the power until the upper RPM range. I believe it's a roots but the setup is odd.

ya but its FWD and s/c brings the speed down to 7.4 seconds. Come'on.... The car has a so-so design of the 4 banger. I could see if the n/a engine was pumping out 190 but it isn't. It's not the beast everybody thinks it is.....
