General MINI TalkShared experiences, motoring minutes, and other general MINI-related discussion that applies to all MINIs, regardless of model, year or trim.
How is the Mini shorter that most of them but has a larger turn radius than most of them? Was that a typo or is the wheel base on the Mini really longer than the rest?
Haha...we have a Top 10 Best Urban Cars, and I thought I saw the Kia Soul also got a Top 10 City Cars...we've definitely got the BEST of both Worlds!!

My guess is that the MINI's length may be the culprit. Longer car = more room in the hood to place all the parts longtitudal (is that even a word ). At any rate, since the car's hood is shorter, most of the parts are spread wide in the hood giving less room for the wheels to turn. You can always pull the e-brake for a tighter turn
