I disagree. V6, 6 speed accords are pretty sweet and roughly $30k.

Re: Might be upgrading

In my opinion the problem with a new Mini Cooper S is going to be that $30k+ price tag. You like adding additional upgrades and tinkering with the car so why not buy something used for about $10k less and invest the difference back into the car. Then you would really end up with a truly unique car a...

Compared to Ferrari, Lamborghini, and Aston Martin the Shelby GT500 is cheap.

Re: Anyone familiar with this MINI?

A quick Kelly Blue Book (which isn't necessarily the best source of truth) has this car retailing at a little over $10k. Quickly looking around I can't find a comparable MINI Cooper S in that price range. In my personal opinion if the price is too good to be true... it probably is. Either this deale...

Re: 2014 MINI

Not my favorite looking MINI but I'm glad they are starting to make some changes. I think it is healthy for the car. As long as the basic styling elements don't completely change like the 911 I'll be happy. I think MINI really has to start playing with the design a bit more because what is the incen...

Re: Newbie in St Joe! (New questions 3/23/13)

Anybody here lower theirs ? I am thinking about getting some NM springs, but reading horror stories about vibration and then having to replace axles quickly. The stock suspension is built to handle the stock springs, so putting lowering springs on it does increase the risk of ruining other parts of...

Re: Rear Sway Bar... worth it?

In my opinion you will not notice anything unless you are racing it or driving like a bat out of hell to get somewhere on time. It is one of the better cost effective ways to increase your handling for sure. I'm not sure what the dimensions are on the front and rear sway bars for a Justa, but I have...

Re: Kansas City Auto show

Well this can tide you over until later this week. :) I was in Toronto last week for work and they happened to have their Auto Show so I couldn't pass it up. Puts our show to shame....

Re: Least and Most Expensive Cars to Own, Where's MINI?

This is fun to look at but I think the job was pretty poorly done. This, " estimates factor in depreciation, fuel cost, loan interest, insurance premiums, sales tax, and maintenance and repairs." so surely it will be using comparable vehicles. In the Luxury SUV category they compare the RD...
