Found a great new review for the MINI at cars.com. It is excellent and has great photos, a video clip and explains the meaning of certain car terms like supercharger, oversteer etc.. check it out!

Thanks Hapaboy, I really like the explanations for the diffetrent terminology.

Just to let you guys know the car that they used for the article was my personal car. I work for cars.com and they couldn't find a Cooper S to review so they used mine....

A very good article. But it's a shame about the exterior measurements error (and the fact the author expounded on that difference).

The MINI is 75.8 inches wide as the article states, but only if you include the exterior mirrors. Typically car width measurements do not include the mirrors. So the MINI is only 66.5 inches wide at the body.

The article stated the MINI is wider than the New Beetle. It is not. The New Beetle is 67.9 inches wide compared to the MINI's 66.5 inch width.
