New Re: Anyone know about used Mini Coopers?
Had a friend end up with a sport model. Rally package, little paddle shifters.

Fucking terrifyingly agile machine.

Would not allow my kid to drive that as a first car. It would kill her.

The cheaper economy models are probably OK if not likely rolling coffins.
New I'll make sure I drive it, thanks

Get her an old station wagon. Really old. With a carburator.

                     Good point, and one which I didn't consider at all - (pwhysall) - (5)
                         I think it is a feature of imported Euro motors - (scoenye) - (4)
                             91 octane required might be "required". - (Another Scott) - (3)
                                 Check their "91 required" list - (scoenye) - (2)
                                     Yeahbut, so are VW Passats. ;-) - (Another Scott)

                 I owned quite a few English cars . . . - (Andrew Grygus) - (3)
                     MG TC ...Heh - (Ashton) - (2)
                         The TC did not have a crash box . . . - (Andrew Grygus) - (1)
