I'm sorry, but this guy isn't worth my time for a response. Everyone is in titled to there opinion. What erks me, is when some idiot writes an article on the Mini and complains it doesn't fit four 6 footers, can't haul enough luggage for a month long vacation and doesn't ride like a Cadillac. The Mini should be judged on what it was intended to be. Mini didn't fit low profile tires stretched around 17 inch wheels for a smooth ride. The MCS wasn't equipped with a blower for high fuel mileage. You could spend a hundred grand for Porsche or Rolls and someones going to find something wrong with them.

Fredericksburg he's getting you riled up...just has a bit of MINI envy, he also appears to be a bit sexist.

we drove through that sleepy little southern town on a MINI drive and the mayor took a video of us, we were welcomed with arms open

Ah Fredericksburg. Nice town, went to college there. Yeah this guy clearly is not worth a response. It's not like the Free-Lance Star is the height of good journalism

I would imagine it's the repository for the hacks who want to work for the Washington Post (50 miles north) but can't get in the door

I mean the guy said himself that he doesn't have the best tastes, and we would have to agree.

Ok, you all are probably right, he doesn't deserve a response. I also noticed that he didn't mention any cars that he liked.

Anyone who uses the words "dilly" and "old Jalopy" is a MORON!.Thank goodness that there are some Americans who know and appreciate European style and a car culture because lets face and be honest here Americans dont have a lot of culture

Mighty Mini one,the only one
