So the MINI has less power and more weight. It happens to have worse fuel economy and is markedly slower. It's not going to win a "Traffic Light Grand Prix".
It's still a nicer car tho. There's no comparison on build or image. Similar handling.

I'd take the Mini every time, but try and open your mind a bit dude

i agree when there standard but i dont agree that handling is similar cus it isnt, just commenting on what lou had said
