Now I want me a mini. I'll invent a 'car shoehorn' to get my tall ass in there.

Actually... They're amazingly ROOMY inside, same as the "New Beetle".

You may only need a tube of "K-Y" to slide into the driver's seat, and (especially if you drive the "S" model) you probably won't want to get out.

They're a HOOT to drive!

The new Beetles aren't really Beetles. Front-engined front wheel drive? that's BACKWARDS!

The new Minis are brilliant. I want one.
