I have a Mini JCW. Manual. Thanks.

Funny, it doesn’t look like an ultimate driving machine. Doesn’t look very lightweight. Doesn’t have an exciting and well-mated engine and transmission combination. I see no motorsports pedigree.

My Alfa Romeo 155 V6. Always wanted it, now have it, never will get rid of it.

I daily a manual. In traffic. My summer car is a manual.

Yes you need these utterly lifeless and boring cars to remind us how awesome some of our whips are, no matter how differently we feel about each other’s choices in vehicle. Dare to be different, drive what makes you excited...not what just “makes sense.” Keep driving joy alive. And for God’s sake...save the manual.

Old news for us Canucks. You Yanks really get shafted with your 25 year rule.

Nope. Like a lot of early 2000s “its a car, we dont have to do anything more” designs, it was, is, and always will be...utter crap.

looks like a Chinese knockoff of a Korean knockoff of a German car

Nope.

...and this is where the auto industry in the modern age jumped the shark

I know exactly what I am missing out on. And I am completely fine with that.

Elaborate please.

Too late. Cancelled my reservations sooooo long ago.

Idiotic segment. Hope they all die in a fire.

Mini died after the R53 for me.

lots of room with all that fake intake blanked over

Such an amazing car, would have one if I had the cash

Who cares. It is an SUV. It will be stuck in slow traffic on its way to boutique shops most of its life.

No.

Wow such GM defenders as to their styling. This car is coma inducing to look at.
