| 0-60 mph in...
The way I think of it is this. For the amount of room in the car they had to work with getting fast out of something that size is quite an achievment. Sure there are other hot little hatches but not many in this size range have the power we all want. Sure theres that focus. The car is big enough you could probably fit a nice big V6 or something in there. Try that with a mini. Its not like I am going to be racing people at every street light. I just want something that would help me in times where I need power. Such as overtaking and pulling around people. With the mini being smaller I am sure there will be plenty of power to let me do these type of things. Handling like it does is not to shabby either.
When I think of cars in the price range of the mini I think of the VW GTI, and the new honda si but their 0 - 60 times are not far from 7 anyways. What are you comparing it to? WRX\'s and other larger cars? |
