speedo in the middle isnt really a big deal....doesn't look that great but it wouldn't be a mini without one i guess. the shifting is great, super smooth and tons of torque to keep you flying.

redline - nice mini, but i don't plan on spending $10-20k in mods....leaving this one stock for the most part

I like the exterior, and most of the interior. I hate that dash layout. Looks like something Flavor Flav would have around his neck.

I actually like the interior a lot. My gf's yaris has the gauge cluster in the middle and I have gotten used to it quickly and it doesn't bother me when driving. I bet the car runs great and it looks great too.

I think the interior is the sexiest part.

Jesus 30k and no arm rest? That would drive me crazy! I have to have an arm rest, but I guess when you are used to one, you need one.

Nice car, although it is not my bag, glad you finally can enjoy something you wanted.

Only thing I am envious of is the 40.2 mpg! I only wish!

whole delivery and paperwork ordeal only took 40 minutes and i was on my way....awesome power...

Did you just describe a mini cooper as having "awesome power"? 207hp != AWESOME

the car weighs 2500 pounds and recent dynos have shown it to be around 220/235 HP/TQ. don't think of it in the sense of "zomg only 220 HP?" think of it in the sense that an equivalent car at 3500-3700 pounds would be up around 350 HP/375 TQ. like i said, drive it before you knock it....

far as the armrest goes, it's an option but people complain about it because it always slides open when you put your arm on it, so i passed.

i want your job...

what does this have to do with my job?
