What we drove before we fell in love with our MINI
General MINI TalkShared experiences, motoring minutes, and other general MINI-related discussion that applies to all MINIs, regardless of model, year or trim.
I had a 2005 Honda Civic Hybrid. Before that:
2000 New Beetle
1993 Honda Civic Sedan
1992 VW Golf
1988 Hyundai Excel
1984 Plymouth Reliant K
1979 Plymouth Horizon 3 Dr.
I sold my factory ordered blue 1995 Mustang GT of 11 years to get my 2006 MCS. Needed to have something a bit more practical with kids, and also easier to drive in winter.
Before that was a 1990 Cavalier Z24, and a 1978 Mercury Cougar with a 351M.

'07 M Coupe. The last of the truly sporting BMWs. Pure bliss. And still my first love, sharing garage space with my MCS.
I drove 2 or 3 M coupes before I picked up the e92 M3. Awesome cars.
The s54 is truly a great engine, but it doesn't sound very nice. It's very raspy, even with a nice exhaust it still doesnt have the growl a lot of other inline 6's have. It really is a raw car though.
Before I had purchased my Mini I was driving an '04 Civic Si hatchback.
