    I have a proposal. How about we mock the Prius and Smart Cars? :D

    I didn't like the R53s when they came out, but they grew on me. And then I ended up with an R56, and love it. Its all good, we are all car enthusiasts. We all have cars we intently dislike, like Smart Cars and Fiats, but we also have cars we love. And thats not always going to match up to everyone of us.

    I'll just go read only from here on out, with (very) few exceptions having nothing to do with MINIs....

    I don't want to slam the F56, but I would like to be able to speak honestly and openly about what I like and dislike about it.

    If they offered the new MINI D in the USA with a 2.0 liter diesel, I'd get one. The 1.5 liter diesel, not so much.

    Does it bother/upset you at all, that members of this forum have posted, in no uncertain terms, their dislike of the F56?

    Cool. I'll probably see you around. My Girlfriend lives in Hendersonville, which is right outside Asheville. I get out that way every chance I get.

    What's there not to like about the F? Can't really find any.
    -Perfect for mad modders. Like R99 who's CC'ing everything. Got wheels 1st before the car only to find it's got new PCD & fitment. Needs ball seat lugs to fit most VAG rims. Coilovers a must out the showroom..... Again, perfect for project builds.

    -Finally, a MINI we won't need to check oil level!!! Woohoo! How many of us slobs have been wishing for this???? Again, finally!!!!

    -It's been reviewed to drive great! The engine, suspension, the rev-match feature, connected steering, etc!

    - Better aerodynamics must be the real reason on the massive front & rear overhangs, not safety nor anything unintentional.

    I'm sure, there are many more features of the F to love about. The real reason of the new kid bashing this time maybe something we all hate to admit....ENVY!!!! So there.... Agree?

    Why didn't they call it an F53?
