Never liked BMW cars so why should i like one now because its called a mini.

If Mazsa made a small car and called it a mini i doubt if i would like that either.

I don't see how Issigonis would have like the Bini, It practically goes against everything the Mini was designed for. The Bini is cramped inside (for it's size), it's big and the amount of general tat and buttons inside is unbelievable. It's bloody expensive for what it is too. It's nice to drive but that goes for 99% of modern cars, a Mini handles like a Go-kart, the Bini handles well and REMINDS you of a Mini but no better than the sporty swift or Fiesta ST. I personally hate the Bini and the way BMW has gone about things, like I said, my opinion. The argument will never stop, same as the people who moan about the argument will never stop

Just read the conclusive comments in this 16 year old road test titled "Minimalist Pleasures" (scroll down to it): -

Minimalist Pleasures link

Because with the amount of speed cameras in the UK today just waiting to catch anyone disobeying the speed limits as they try to get a buzz from their modern euro-boxes, I'd say those comments and the Mini are more relevant today than ever.
