New 2011 Hardtop Owner

Greetings!

I just picked up my new 2011 justa hardtop in Horizon Blue. My last three cars were, in order, a Saab 900 Turbo, Ford Probe and a Saab 92x with all wheel drive.

So far, I love the tight six speed gearbox and incredible cornering ability of this machine! My 92x was fantastic in the northeastern winters, and I look forward to comparing the two.

Welcome to the club. With good snow tires on your car you will be surprised how well it gets along in the snow.

Happy motoring my friend.

Welcome. My first car was a classic 900, and the Mini seems at times like a much smaller Saab with better handling.

Thanks for all the replies. This Mini really is a fun car. The cockpit and power curve do remind me of my old 1981 Saab Turbo - which was a great ride. I commuted through a rainstorm this morning like it was nothing.
