My next new car?
RetroACTIVE:
ok... I own a pickup and an suv... both V8s... its time for a new car... I'm thinking... Mini Cooper
5 years ago I would have never considered such a purchase... but the way I figure, with gas prices through the roof and the fact that I already have a truck for hauling (arcade machines of course ;) ).... I'm going small and economical... I was considering the Prius thing... but the I'm not seeing a real cost savings... consumer reports gave the Cooper a really good rating so I'm seriously considering it....
any thoughts?

What is the point of saving gas money if you are going to buy a "premium" priced economy car??
Get a Toyota Corolla. ::)

true... but Toyotas are pretty pricey too... it was consumer reports that made me consider it.
RetroACTIVE:
yeah... just checked the delta between the corolla and cooper... there is quite a diff.. ;) they top out at approx 15k and 24k respectively.
still just in the "consideration" stage as well.
shardian:
I think the Corolla has better gas mileage too.
