Poor Man's Mini = same size/shape as the mini, same go-cart like handling, but $7,000K less

Is the mini cooper an economic car in terms of gas like the xA?

I drove a 6sp N/A Mini before I got my xA, I think my auto xA is a better drive.. to me, it handles better, has just as much power if you drive it right and will last longer. Granted, I test drove a used one, but it was a year old and still cost more than a new xA. Besides, have you ever tried to open the hood on a mini? The release is on the passenger side.

To me, they are both fun to drive, it's just the xA is more bang for the buck.
And Suzuki isn't sure they are going to stay in the car business in America.

We might as well like our xAs since Toyota has decided to discontinue them. Fat chance selling a discontinued model. Now I know how the Yugo owners felt!

Me Too! I'm hoping it will take me into retirement and that I'll still be smiling when I get there.

My neighbor sets a few of his stuffed/target animals out for christmas in like a redneck nativity like scene. He puts a red led on the deers nose and turns the shot side away from the road.

xA's rock.

xA FTW!

After the xA, all the other cars that come out to compete with it just ____ me off. Like the Fit (Jazz, what a wussy name!), Aveo (Chevy? please) and the... whatever this thread was about... Versa! Yeah... F those cars man.

People asked me after I got my car if I'd still have it after 10 years, don't see why not. It's a Toyota right? I mean if I am able to afford a "nice" car, then I'd probably keep the xA for commute and the other to show off or something.
