lol... exaggerating a little arent you?

at least FWD is travelling by car, plus there are some very good FWD cars (I wont even bother listing them)....

1. RWD
2. AWD
3. FWD
4. Motorbike (not scooter)
5. Bicycle
6. Skateboard
7. Walking

Mini, since its made by BMW, and it looks way better then Beetle. And definintly RWD is #1!

I like Minis.

The old Minis, even being FWD, were some of the best handling cars EVER. I'd like to go see how well BMW has fared at this...

Well I like the way they look, the engineering and thier quality of build. HOWEVER the 1.4, 1.6, N/A 1.8 and 2.0 engines are gutless as hell, the reliability is slipping and they are seriously overwieght.

However the 1.8 Turbo, V5, 1.9 TDi and VR6 are still good cars.

They still need to look at what made the Mk2 Golf GTi such a good car (Hell even my Mk 2 Jetta is a better drive than a Mk 4)

Its too bad the mini is waaaay overpriced. You're paying about 20k (after dealer padding) for a car that is half the size of an accord and half the engine (115 hp).

Yeah, BUT, despite a silky V6 and auto-tranny, the Accords driving experience is as dull as dish-water, unlike the MINI's, which is apparantley a stonking good drive and half the engine??? Who gives, the Cooper S well makes up for that one and does size REALLY matter?

OK, they are getting fat, which i dont like, but VW is giving the public what they seem to want because GOlfs are sellling in bigger numbers than ever... The GTi's arent the drivers cars they used to be, but then again neither are their competitors' hot hatches etc... its a shame hatches are growing vertically as well as horizontally... IMO the Civic Type R looks like a mini-MPV on steroids... not pretty at all, but its the way cars are going now
