I need your help in selecting mini
1 - I assume 15 in. tires won't get stuck in truck ruts, such as exist on I95. What about 16 and 17in shoes? Had Z51 Vette and truck ruts were real problem. Unless I drive all the way to the "right" highway, dealer test drive won't tell me this.

2 - With bumps in middle of turn will 16 and 17in step sidways or cruise right through when I'm pressing hard?

3 - Have they replaced (fixed) the 5 speed box with the problems?

4 - Are reported hatch rattles etc. now gone? (Not a big deal anyway)

5 - Any positive or negative experience with Westchester mini or Stamfor mini?

Thanking everyone in advance.
