Not that I'm planning on getting rid of my MINI, but if something happened to it I sure as hell won't be buying another. Hope mine lasts for a very long time.

Not a fan of Mustangs. Don't have enough hair to grow a mullet. I do feel folks should drive what they want. So Dave it's ok to get that Prius, you'll get no grief from me. :wink:

 

....I would rather keep my MINI

 

Chuck...of course you have enough hair for that mullet! Just comb your eyebrows back....:devil:

 

I really like that car too. Lots of bang for the old retiree's buck. :biggrin5:

If an old & flatulent fella bought one of those how badly would it screw up their demographics? :donut1:

 

I once said that, but times change. I think its bang for the buck & grin factor are pretty high. Could the reliability be worse than MINIs? :lol: Bang for the buck & grins are high on my must have list.

 

Retch...Bleah...Puke :frown2:

 

Damn, good point.
Well, they fit in the boot of the MINI so I'm good

 

Couldn't screw it up any more then what you did to MINI's demographics! When I was looking at cars, I went to a couple ST specific forums. It felt like a younger crowd, but I was really only looking through the Fiesta ST threads.

I would agree that both cars offer a lotta bang for the buck (especially the for the discounted prices that some of the loaded Focus STs were going for). I didn't drive a Fiesta ST, but I think it could be a very fun toy. Seems like it could be a little raw (R53ish) to be a DD.

 

I never really was either, but I've got to say with the current body, the Coyote 5.0, and all the great numbers that car is capable of... It makes the $42K out the door price I payed for a fully loaded EVO VIII back in '05 look like that car was a POS for the money. Stripped down the 5.0 was $28K last I looked, with 425 HP stock, better lap times than a new M3 stock, and if you can make it hook it will rip just about anything else out on the street right now in a 1/4 mile... STOCK! Plus people are getting a lot more power for not much more money in the aftermarket.

Cant really argue you aren't getting your moneys worth, and then some.

Maybe one day I will jump on a nice used one, but it can stay outside... The MINI will always have the garage to come home to.

 

You would Dave... Have you seen their new facelifted tail lights?

 

Chuck you'll have to drive Julie's some time. It's a very nice car. It handles well has great power and delivers 26 city and 30 hwy actual mpg so far.

I wouldn't get rid of my MINI. But if I had the money I'd look at a Fiesta ST as the daily driver and save the MINI.

 

Yes you do, one for you, one for hubby, one each for Greyhounds.

There, 4 doors.

 

I'll have to get one... they fit great in the back. I bought the MINI dog liner and it hooks to your front seats. Then I throw a giant dog bed back there and they curl up together on it. Hell, they can even stand up all the way back there.
You know MINIs- lots of room

 

God only made a few perfect heads. The rest of you bozo's got hair. rrr:

 

I do like the looks of them but sadly I will never buy another American car ever again.

 

I would rather have a Toyota, Honda or Nissan.

 

Oh I am keeping my MINI don't worry about that.

 

I wouldn't screw around with an American 4 cylinder car... $30K Can buy a lot of bang for the buck in a new base model 5.0 Mustang...
Just sayin.
