Don’t like them but they are practical in European cities. Funny as smart drivers where trying to be smart by parking two in once space. That is now illegal

The only problem with that crash test is that in reality on an American highway, the SMART would have flipped across several lanes of traffic and probably been hit by several other cars in the process...
Did you see that thing ricochet off the Mercedes?
I mean a head-on is no good for anyone involved, but I don't want to be flying 100s of feet, bouncing, and rolling around if I do get into one.\
Agreed on "OK for European cities but stupid in America where you can buy a Civic with better everything..."

you could easily crush this mini with a jeep just check out how big the STOCK tyre is
i luv my mini, completely rebuilt by me, but it makes you feel a bit insignificant compared to the JEEP on the road.

Yeah, but original Mini's are cool, my first car ever was a 1974 Mini in Berlin when I was stationed there...what a great car for that city, could fit it anywhere (and actually pick up the front or back and move it around if your friends, say, turned you sideways in a parking space to be funny...).
Don't much like the new ones, just don't have the feel of the original series...sort of like the VW Bug just isn't the same...
