Disn't that win the award for The Most Gratuitous Use of the Word Fuck in a Motion Picture?

As the Dude said “Well, that’s just your opinion, man.” Speaking as a long time Mini convertible owner, let me add that you can take that opinion and shove it up your condescending ass. The bestselling vehicle in the US is the F150 and if you think the Mini is ugly, heavy and expensive compared to that gas guzzler,…

Mini convertible is VERY similar and gives you a usable rear seat.

Im a huge convertible fan, but also a parent and I MUST have a back seat. I’m also over 6' and can barely fit in a Miata. Otherwise it’s perfect.

It’s an interesting question whether or not the motorcycle was magical, or whether the mouse was providing the magic. It’s made clear in the book that the motorcycle will only go if the mouse makes a brrrrr engine noise. Fine. However, later circumstances require him to drive a toy ambulance which does NOT respond to…

Any 10 year old VAG product is going to drain your wallet for as long as you’re willing to put up with it. I dont care how many masochists here in the comments are whining that VAG cars no longer deserve their reputation for being unreliable and expensive: the last time I believed that was true I made the mistake of…

Thats the population. What’s his share of the electorate? More to the point, what’s his share of the electorate that bothered to vote?

Yep, the man was never anything that could be described as intelligent, but when he was a frequent guest on the Howard Stern show he was at least articulate. Now he’s obviously confused all the time and can’t string three words together. Politics aside, this doddering buffoon shouldn’t be allowed to drive, let alone…

Citation needed!

Yes, we Canadians are all horrible, horrible people who come here to take your jobs and your women. Fear us...FEAR US! Muahahahahahah!

It’s my second and I’ve never had any issues. That may be because I favor base, non-turbo models, but I drove my 2005 across the country twice and the worst issue I had was a battery dieing on me.

Hah! As if VW Service Depts. will give you a loaner without a huge fight. I had to tell and scream every time.

I got badly sodomized by VW thanks to a ‘creampuff’ piece of shit Eos and a worthless aftermarket warranty they sold me. That car spent so much time in the shop that my next car was going to be a brand new one. I bought a 2018 Mini convertible and paid another $2k or so for the service contract purely so that I will…

You forgot "I am an EXCEPTIONAL  thief!"

We are not nice. We are polite. Many peoples assume these mean the same thing, but they do not. We say sorry reflexively when we bump into you, even if we do it on purpose. We will sometimes even apologize for kicking you in the balls.

The Flex is a 6-seater, same as the Mazda5...

This. I grew up in Canada and we only put snows on my dad’s old man sedans with RWD. My brother put a set on his MR2, but he was living in Edmonton at the time and that’s closer to the arctic than it is to the US.

My wife and I cross-shopped the Flex with the Mazda5 and there’s no comparison. The Flex is way bigger on the outside and only seats one additional person (unsuitably for long trips). There are no sliding doors so loading toddlers or younger can be a challenge. The handling is what you’d expect, the mileage is poor…

Ticks a lot of the boxes (stick, wagon, decent power, decent interior) but ar the end of the day it’s a 20 year old VW and this is just the down payment. I’d take this POS for $100 and junk it when (not if) it breaks down expensively. I’d be gambling that’s cheaper than renting a car for a week or two, but it’s…

My wife and I both drive stick and prefer it. In fact, we were both a bit pissed that our Mazda5 was NOT available in GT trim with the stick and we needed leather seats with a newborn. I still drive a manual Mini convertible while she’s driving the minivan, but both of us would be perfectly happy if our next car lets…
