I don't think they suite men.. with the exception of the Cooper S, meant to be great fun to drive, like a go kart

I enjoyed the short time i had with my cooper s the noise of the charger was wicked only thing was it was a thirsty thing but the girly look didn't suit me :lol: and 274 miles to £60 of fuel :? Now in a dc5 much more fun cheaper to run and better economy 8)

a regular mini might be ok but the s drinks like a fish nearly a tank down to newcaslte and same back where as the dc5 made it to jae northampton from troon in one tank and the same home the dc5= £50 vpower and mini=£60 bp
