I love the look of the prius, and I have to admit the mini was a lifesaver for my son - must be built like a tank! He loved the 6 speed manual, and never tired of all that shifting. That's a 22 year old for ya! Beauty is in the eye of the beholder. I've always like the prius while that mini had to grow on me.
I just like cars that either look different than most cars or have functions that are different. I love the Smart too and we were actually on the list for one, but opted for the Prius instead as the whole family fits. The Mini however feels like a small sports car, which explains why your son loves it
Yes that's what he says, and that he enjoyed the drive every time he got in his. It was all decked out and had a nav. system. Got him a Mazda RX8 to replace the mini after the wreck but he says it just doesn't measure up. Soooo still looking for a good deal on a mini while I wait for my Prius. I hope I love it as much as I have my Rx300 which now has 195,000 troublefree miles on it. Was shopping for a new one when I drove a Prius and decided on that instead.
