Another noob in the MINI world

Hey guys,

Haven't taken the plunge yet but I am on the brink. I am coming from a Acura Integra, and to tell you the truth this seems like the only car out there that will be a good replacement, other then a used rsx. I am looking forward to the better mpgs. Anyway I have a lot of questions so I will get to searching and posting right away.

Hi,

I had an Integra GSR as one of my last cars before my MCS, let me tell ya,
as good as it handled and as fun as it was to drive, the MCS was a big step forward.....Good luck and hope you find your way into MINI madness!

Thanks guys! It is great to hear that people had an Integra and liked the move to a Mini. I was a little scared about the move but feel a whole lot more comfortable. Now if I can just figure out all the options... Sometimes complete freedom is the hardest to deal with! Too many options!

I also owned an Integra (3 of them!) before I bought the Mini.
From what I hear, it's a reasonable replacement.
