Good value/fun for the money!

The car is well built and solid. Handling is go-kart like and similar in capability to my classic Mini. Ride is excellent even over 100mph. Power could be improved with more low end torque. But if you wind it up, its quick enough. You just get into 5th a little over 90mph. Critics must be unfamiliar with classic Minis or mini cars.

I should have just bought a BMW instead of compromising with a Mini. I think I was deceived into thinking the Mini was simple a small version of a BMW 3 series. It is not. Do not get fooled as the novelty wears off quicker than any other car I have owned.

Do not believe the negatives written in this site. The only negative with this car is the wait. Those scathing emarks can only be coming from the competition. Anyone who actually owns one and driven one that these bad reviews are BS. Lets Motor.

The only problem is the crowd.

Great fun to drive. It took a little while to get the hang of the folding seats when someone gets into the back seats. The headlights are great compared to my 1988 VW Quantum synchro stationwagen. Only 250 Miles so far. Wheel rims needed cleaning from brake dust after only 100 Miles. I hope it's just from the breaking in period. I love this car, and I hope to have it for many many years.
