Excellent news. I think most of us knew that the mini was a strong car from those few crash reports available already (road accidents). Another feather in the mini cap.

Motor On.

That's cool. I do think it's interesting that they couldn't come up with a rear seat side impact rating since they couldn't fit a test dummy in the back seat. Who said the MINI was a 4 passenger car?

Again, size does not matter. I always hate when people make comments about safetly in small cars. It is the engineering, not necessarily size.

Just wanted to say that once again, the boards have the info before us dealers do. I find that amazing.
You guys help us as much as we help you! Thanks!
