Hello everyone,
Glad I found you.

I am considering a Mini, and I have a few questions:

I live in Denver- How well do the Mini all season radials work in the snow?
This will be a sporty commuter, so I am thinking of those tires with the standard suspension. How will it handle with that combination?

Does the base model have enough power to get up the hill heading west on I-70 in to the mountains?

Any problem with the Oak trim cracking in the dry climate?

And finally, with our temperature extremes, I am thinking of cloth seats. Anyone in Denver want to give an opinion on the Leatherette or Leather seats?

Thanks for your help!
JVS

 

Living in a NW Suburb of Chicago I had several questions regarding the snow. I received an extremely helpful post from boostednorm. I'm definitely getting a Mini there are just so many choices!!

I think it'll be a fine car for you.

And if you're concerned with winter... check out the Canadain MINI site:
