My car shines on the highway. Lots of power, good A/C, solid and safe feeling, great in the rain, good fuel economy for a sporty car.

What he said. Having had a whole assortment of cars, gas hog Buick, Oldsmobile, current Jeep, Nissan, and more, the MINI is by far the best road car.

The other cars seats felt more comfortable when just sitting down, but failed to support properly on the road. Drove our 2002 MC from Magog, Canada to Norfolk, Virginia, only stopping for gas. No problems, got out, no discomfort at all. And, I am slightly over 21 years old.
