Mini= small? They dont feel small to me!

The biggest comment I get on my car is how small it is. Funny thing is, after only a year of driving this car I don't feel at all like it is small anymore at all! It is a perfectly normal sized car to me!

When I sit in it, I dont feel like I am sitting in a small car. When I look at it from far away, I dont think "man my car is small". It look absolutely normal to me.

When my friends comment on how small car my is, I really can't see what they are talking about. To me.. the only really "small car" is the origional mini. My mini doesnt feel small at all.


Now obviously this isnt a bad thing.. it still FITS into those tiny spots .



Anybody else feel that way about their mini?

Exactly my sentiments, I thought it was small 'til I had it, now it's normal. I do feel a uncontrollable urge to pass big things on the highway as fast as I can - not that there's anything wrong with that.

Yes...a lot of us feel the same way. It's the mystical conundrum of the MINI: looks miniscule on the outside, but once inside, its GIGANTIC!

I'll have to agree as well. My roommate's Impala seems obscenely huge to me now.

I seem to fall in love with any technology that isn't any bigger than it absolutely has to be!
