Honda's and Mini's are both excellent cars- I would not disparage either.
The Mini 'S' has an excellent power to weight ratio, and as a result of a smaller engine with a turbocharger gives a similar performance to the CTR GT but with a better MPG and less effort by the driver. To get the best out of the Honda you have to use the gears to keep in vtec mode, this can become tiresome and uses a lot of fuel.
On the plus side the Honda is more practicable regarding interior room.
I hope you find this of help, and am sure you will enjoy your ownership of the Honda CTR GT. |
