Ever since I first saw ads talking about Mini Coopers before they started selling them in the US, I fell in love with them! They have a very retro look (back to the forties, even though those cars were larger), they are very fuel efficient, and they're quality made. But, short of winning a lottery, I won't be getting one. Do you have one? Do you like it? What do you like about it and what DON'T you like about it? Tell us about it.

I read in the New York Times this morning that they will be coming out with a hybrid mini Cooper. I think that will be cool. They're very good on Gas as it is, but that will make them even better.

That'll be good for the environment, but if you're only getting a car to save money, you need to compare the cost of maintenance. Sometimes the hybrid costs more to keep than an economical high mileage gas engine. But, I still love those little things!!! I like the Scions, too!

I know - I'd probably be afraid to drive on a major highway with one, but I would LOVE to have one. You can park almost anywhere, the gas mileage is spectacular, and they're just cute as can be!!! Love them!! Thanks so much for responding!!

I've only gotten close to a few to look inside them, but even inside they look "old fashioned". And, I'm short, so a short car is my kind of vehicle!! LOL
