The August issue of Road & Track magazine has an interesting article “Fun Factor – 12 cars guaranteed to bring miles of smiles” and of course, our favourite car is included:
“… irresistibly inviting for nearly any kind of trip, [adding] an element of fun to the most mundane errand … stands out in a sea of the cautiously designed and inoffensively bland … fun because it adds zest and spice to life … – Peter Egan”
Of course we all knew that already, but you can read the whole article online, listen to Peter Egan raving about the MINI, or find out what the other fun cars are …
MINI Cooper S: the best of course, and first in the magazine article
Dodge SRT-4: No looks, just power
Scion xB: Cheap & practical, but fun?!
Lotus Elise: Great if you don’t want to enjoy the ride 😉
Ford Mustang GT: A brute of an engine
Subaru Impreza WRX STi: Many people seem to like this car
Porsche Boxster S: If I didn’t have a MINI, and didn’t need to transport anything …
BMW M3: BMW styling still does not appeal to me
Chevrolet Corvette: Another huge engine
Dodge Viper SRT-10: $$$$ for summer driving only
Mercedes-Benz E55 AMG: OK, it’s a fun station wagon
Porsche 911 Carrera S: I prefer the Boxster
[of course – the above opinions are only mine 😉 ]
