...and in my experience in Texas, most people do drive respectfully, don´t speed, don´t change lanes without signaling...

Imagine in Mexico City. My first drive from the office to home was actually a nightmare, a civic is a mid size car in Mexico and gets some respect on the streets, but the Mini...

I have noticed a lot of "aggression" from other subcompact car drivers (mainly silly kids with VWs, SEATs and Opels. They just want to get in your way, race you and do stupid things. Honestly it is PURE ENVY. All other subcompact hatchbacks are a little less than econoboxes. People with regular cars and even SUVs just seem to love the car and actually drive nicely around while taking a look at it.

I didn´t buy this car to race it, don´t even expect it to be a superfast car, just a regular little engine with enough power to move around comfortably and enjoy.
