No way man. A Cooper S is the most fun car I've ever driven, and I've driven many different modern cars.

The Atom is street legal in the UK only, and special cases in the US. I don't give a shit though, I'll own one someday. Oh yes.

While we're recommending ridiculous vehicles, I'd like to put down the Westfield Megabusa.



500kg, 180bhp Suzuki GSXR1300 Hayabusa motorcycle engine, 0-100kph in 3.2 seconds, 1/4 mile in flat 10 seconds.

Cancel the VW appointment unless you enjoy cars that are in the shop more often than on the road.

Actually Chris I'd cancel them both...Vertigo & Mark T are pretty much BANG on with their advice....I'm licensed an S & T mechanic & I prefer Japanese HANDS down.Even when I used to fix them, they are just WAY better engineered (imo)..If I we're you I'd buy a used Honda civic or even an Accord like a 2000 or 2001...Don't buy new because its a waste of money...These cars are just as good used as they are new & STILL feel solid with no rattles & squeeks unlike a 3 to 4 year old domestic ....I'd also stay faaaaaaaaar away from any German cars...they are finicky and are costly to fix....

Man for 25k you can buy a 2002 Nissan Maxima which is what my next car will be whenver my 1998 Maxima quits...I bought my car 2 years ago & it drives SOO nice.

As for the Vibe...it is basically a Toyota.A pal of mine at work has one & he loves it....


In any case....search the web for info and here's the place where I bought my car

BTW....I bought my car at Canadian Fine Motors

+1

Low cost + uber-warrany = pick Hyundai or Mitsubishi

My next car (after my focus SVT) will hopefully be another SVT, but hopefully little more family-esque (4-door, non-compact). Of course this depends on Ford's next SVT line-up (they have a new head of SVT who has ensured me that there will be new and exciting releases within the next 12 to 18 months). I admit, I'm an SVT convert for life.

If Ford doesn't get their SVT line in gear, then the plan is for a Volvo V50 T5-AWD (Auto). I just found out that the average life of a Volvo is 18 years! I don't plan to own any car that long, but at least the option exists...

Take heed to what RobbyG says - buy used. Try to get an off- 24 month-lease vehicle - generally they are well maintained and have a good 4 to 5 years of life in them. Unless I get an SVT - I will not buy new again.

The cabrio Cooper S is swanky, but cannot fit a set of golf clubs in the trunk...

In 2007 the Coopers finally get the brand new BMW engine instead of the current Chrysler powerplant.
