need a city car...

finally about to sell my STI, need a small, easy to park city car, thinking about a mini-s, Ive had a chance to drive a few modded S's, the 04+s can get around 200whp on pump with decent mods and handle like gokarts, I know they look a bit girly but they can also look petty mean, what do you guys think?

perfect city car...

Good mileage, handles well, fits in the smallest parking spots, and you will always be able to resell it when the come comes.

Don't worry Jerm, I'll still be your friend! Don't forget you still gotta save up for the Skyline!

Actually like the Mini's . I'll try and shoot a pic one of my co-workers Mini's. He's got a sweet Mini!

minis, if done right, can definitely look badass and I would rock one if I had the chance

example of what you should get....



this is what I'd get if I had the money and it was available in the US:

right now, if I lost my WRX and had to get another car, this would be it.

Tons of after market parts. never heard any reliability issues. I say go for it.

Jeremy I'm going to call BS on this. You're not going to sell your STi...you've had it forever and you're going to keep it forever. Keep the vette keep the sti, get a mini to add to the collection

I test-drove an '07 turbo S and would have traded my R32 on the spot for it if the guy would have been into it. Lots of fun, a blast to drive, handles great and even good room inside for such a teeny car. I like the '07+ a lot better because I hate the look of the 2" of fake grille they put on the bumper previous to this MY, and I like turbos better than superchargers. I think the '07 drove nicer than the only other one I drove which was a first gen supercharged model - one of the first. It seemed heavier and not as fun to drive.
