Why the 2006 Mini Hardtop?

Handling

Like a go-kart. Seriously. It handles that well. Over my favorite twisty road, it holds more corner speed than my BMW M3 (E46). Driving it on twisty roads never ceases to put a smile on my face.

Interior styling

Toggle switches for the controls, brushed aluminum accents, big center-mounted speedo just like the original. The seats are comfortable and the sight-lines are good on all corners. MINI really paid attention to the details when designing the interior.

Why Not the 2006 Mini Hardtop?

Cargo capacity

Cargo capacity is pretty small. You can fit one large duffel bag, or about four paper grocery bags with the rear seat up. Forget about towing anything larger than a 3x4 trailer holding your sticky tires for autocross.
