haha thats what it seems like but its not true! my buddy drove with me in a mini and he is 6'4 and 270lbs and he actually fit fine, i mean you couldnt sit anything behind him but yeah he drove it fine too, they are suprisingly roomy
oh and nightmares the shifter is too high up, might just be the pic
but i do plan on getting a short shifter for it though
Mini car for a mini guy!
Sucks to see you get rid of the cav. but the mini has LOTS of potential! Let me know when you want to go take those pictures.
O and GIVE ME THE TOYOTA'S!!!!
I will give you a hundred for the charger.....
hahahahahahahahahahaha
oh and BTW my brother will be getting the cav so it will still be around, im sure ill drive it every so often
Its your brothers first car. He doesnt deserve the Tails or the SC
I'd have gotten a Fit or a Yaris, or even a Versa, before getting a Mini. But, to each his own.

Are you serious? It's not even in the same league as those cars.
I'd love to have a Mini.. I heard they handle really well.

haha truer words have never been spoken
this is a luxury car and it can out perform the fit and yaris in every aspect, except maybe MPG, but it still gets great gas mileage at around 40 highway
and yeah lonestar the handle like a little go kart, its a blast to drive
Nice pickup. Never been a fan of the way they look, but I know how well they drive, so it's all good.

your kidding right? the mini is way beyond any of the cars you just mentiond.. i mean WAY!!! beyond
Great choice, right down to the colour. I'd get the JCW package though.
Oh, and i hate the huge speedo in the center of the dash,... I don't like the passanger knowing how fast i am going.

Nicely done. The Mini Cooper S was also on my checkout list (but, like the G35, the prices here are getting juiced well over FMV), and I would have likely bought one for everyday driving. They are sweet little macheens, and yes, with the right bolt-ons (John Cooper Works intake, smaller diameter S/C pulley, OMP suspension goodies, R Compound tires), you'll have a little bastard on a time-attack track.
Good luck!
Is that "The Works" version?
Very nice little cars, i test drove one, loved it! But, it was more than I wanted to pay.
ok guys so i have an update
the car is all switched over and it is mine, well technically my moms since she loaned the money and i will be buying from her, i know i am blessed not to pay interest
it is not the john cooper works edition, but it does have a lot of great components that you cant always find on the JCW editions
i am in the works of getting the JCW sway bar upgrades and a intake for it, the pulley may have to wait a bit as i have heard getting to that little snout is kinda a pain
also the JCW package can range anywhere from 2-5 grand so find ing that on a used mini with a good price probably wasnt happening
it does have the Harmon kardon sound system upgrade and the aero kit on it, along with a lot of other extras
but now that i am finally driving it, its amazing how incredibly out of the cavaliers league this car is
its faster out of the box even with my 2.4 SC, its ride is better, it handles 10 time better, the interior is like night and day compared to the Js crappy plastic, and the 1.6L SC engine gets about 10 more MPG than the cavalier
but i still love my old j and i understand that it is in a completely different price range and most people looking to buy a mini arent also looking at cavaliers and vice versa
and admiral i agree on pricing, it took me a few months to find one with good miles and a good price plus the options i wanted
and like i said, look for a photoshoot soon to come
Let me know when we're installing those parts brian
You still need to come get your tools anyways
ok more pics comin tomorrow

I'm not sure... I think the intake and pulley are part of the JCW package.
Make sure to to check out the local mini clubs! We make a monthly GTG, usually at Dave and Buster's for a giant Euro meet of VW, Audi, BMW, Mercedes, Mini, Volvo etc.
Also, congrats! Always loved the Mini's but the GTI has always been calling for me!
'02 LS Sport - Indigo Blue - Gone as of 9/15/06....
'06 VW GTI - Black Magic - the new toy with big things to come...
'91 VW GTI - Tornado Red - VR6 swapped in - daily toy
Love it....Not only do i love coopers(prolly never own one because of the wife) but you got my favorite color.
Good luck!
Best current FWD handling car in the US, car handles like a slot car. Thank you long wheelbase, wide track and light weight. And the Neon engine has been proven to be good too. I REALLY recommend to take that car where it can see oranges cones.
I dig and beautiful color too.
Congrats and happy trails.
