So the unruly lynch mob is no longer needed then? Must say I'm a tad disappointed.

http://autos.msn.com/help/Feedback.aspx heres a link to msn's feedback page maybe we should all point out his little erros and get the dork the chop.

I think 'giving the dork the chop' might be a bit much! But I certainly think the many errors in the report (not the opinions, but the glaring factual slip-ups) should be pointed out firmly, as the review seems based on these errors (such as the brakes being different....)

I know just thought it rimed nice

Paul's right. He's entitled to his own opinion, he's just not entitled to convey falsehoods as the truth.

I have just read his review. I thought I was reading something written by a Vulcan or something. This guy needs to get a life and not compare a Mini which is obviously a small niche car to the motorised sofas that are the norm. on the other side of the Atlantic.

I agree he's fully entitiled to his opinion, but most of the review looks and reads like a cut and paste exercise from the Mini Press Pack with lots of figures to bamboozle you but actually saying nothing.

Maybe if he was ignored he'll just go away, looking at his picture it probably will be sooner than the majority of Mini drivers in anycase.

Actually, their names are France and Germany!

You know... because they're always fighting!

Well, anyone that's seen a lot of Carpoint knows that the accuracy of the data is only slightly better than Supercars.net in many cases (which is far from perfect).

I wouldn't trust any review on the site, and it's also obvious to me that he didn't seem to know anything about a car beside seeing some pictures or something!

If I wanted to be practical.....I'd buy a Camry!

Let's not be too hard on Daniel Heraud. Most of us love the MINI because we drive with our hands at the 9 and 3 o'clock position, left foot on the dead pedal when not working the clutch, and not the way Mr. Heraud apparently likes to drive, with his head up his ass.
