    I personally have driven and love both cars, however the S is worth the extra cash. But yes I agree they are a little overpriced, but I think they're worth it.

    really cool cars me thinks, but overpriced. they kinda lost something that was a mainstay from the original mini though - cheap price.

    Yeah, and a brand new Honda Civic also cost $25k+. New cars aren't cheap.

    from what i hear, the s is a great car, especially handling wise, but like everyone mentioned, way overpriced......
    i think its just a "trendy" car right now, so they can make more off of it buy asking so much.
    i honestly would never buy one, s or not.
    Built not Bought.

    Ok, I'd like to know from everyone who says it's too expensive, WHY is it too expensive ?


    Honda Civic SiR - A/C, fog lights, standard options that most people would choose - $29,672.24


    Mini S (Supercharged) - A/C, heated front seats, panoramic sunroof, automatic climate control, on-board computer, cruise control - $33,210.00


    So a difference of roughly $3000. And with the Mini, you get side and head airbags as well, and safety is much better since BMW designed the safety system.


    So how is it "too expensive"??

    Don't forget the HID xenon headlights that are a standard feature of both the Cooper and Cooper S.

    Xenons are something I will always have on any new car I buy from now on.

    So why are people saying that it's overpriced? In my opinion, the SiR is overpriced. Look how much more stuff you get for $3000

    have you ever driven a mini?? there isnt alot of room for anything besides head room.

    seriously, for what you get, its not worth it.

    and why have you been replying to every single post in every single thread.

    Hahaha, I only reply to posts where I have something to say, and at the moment, that's like every post


    I've sat in one, yeah, they're not the MOST roomy cars, but mind you, neither in the Civic SiR. I dunno, for all the features, it's not such a bad price as people think. the SiR is only $3000 less. I'm sure a Camry will cost a lot more than the Mini as well. It's basically you either really love the Mini, or you don't. You don't just buy a Mini cause "the price is good"

    no you buy a mini cause its a blast to drive and its the best bang for your buck. to bad its not.

    so what a civic is only 3000 less?? ive driven the SiR too, i prefered it over the mini for roominess. the mini has great power and great handling. but it just doesnt justify the other few thousand.

    me and memystealthandi test drove one for quite a while, and he considered buying one, but..... for $36,500 it doesnt seem that its worth it.
    thats my reasoning behind the over priced comment.

    Well you can't compare used and new cars here, that's not fair. And $36 000 would be a fully equipped Mini, with the LCD navigation and all
