I love hybrids alot and always want to get the Honda Insight, but the thing about me is that I change my mind alot of car I want to get. Right now its a battle between the Mini Cooper S and Honda Insight. These two cars are awesome and I love them both, but right now the Mini Cooper S is pretty much winning the battle. Ever since Mini Cooper came out in the year 2000 I always wanted it. The question is this: is ir good or bad to get a Mini Cooper S. Before you decide let me tell some interesting facts about the Mini. It gets an average of 25 mpg on the city and 32 mpg on the highway. Sure its not 60 mpg like the Honda Insight, but the Mini has something the Honda will never have and that is how unique and speacial the car. The car has a great history and i just love the style of the Mini. I will buy a Honda Insight in the future but not now. I am 19 and turning 20 and i need a sporty, unique, classy little two door hatchback and thats the Mini Cooper S. Also its because I driven Mini Cooper S before and it was so sweet and wickedly cool. I just loved shiting the gears. Eventhough the highest gear i went into was 2nd gear. I was able to hit 60+miles per hour in second @ about 5000+ rpm then i would go into neutral to sloe down for the light. But i tell you this driving the Mini changed my life. When i drove the Mini it felt like a dream. Well now its up to you guys to give me your input, but my mind is much set on the Mini Cooper S for now.
