I haven't driven the car yet. Maybe tomorrow, I will give it a try.

I think the car has many cool features. I for one think that remote opening the roof top is nice. It takes about 15-20 seconds, but still nice.

Expensive, very to be exact. MCC starts at 31+ and I am surprised it total up to 39K.

I think it is the same as our Gen2 CRV. But she likes it, and so does the rest of the family.

Drove the car this morning for the first time. Heavy steering wheel, like a BMW. Not too much noise, quiet but the small windows in the back can emit noises if a big truck drives by. But I guess any car will hear a truck.

I am not used to European gas paddle, a little harder than Japanese. Enough room for sure.

Can't wait until it is warm so I can go top down.

thats a little pricey to be a beater LOL but its a nice car. n1_taboo is right tho for that price y not go with a S2000 or sumtin might that have been a better choice? (except that a S2000 is rear wheel drive not the best choice for winter LOL)

holy smokes, if u dont ahve anything nice to say, dont say anything at all. Sure they coulda got an s2000 or TSX but they wanted a mini, so thats what they got. Its a really nice car IMO
Charles is just trying to show his families new car, grow up and dont talk bad about other peoples cars just because its not your cup of tea
