    I can see HK becoming full of these when they are released, just like how it's now full of the new A-Class.

    I can only assume that the people who buy these here would also be the same people who look at useless "cars" such as the X1.

    Having said that, any of these is better than yet another fucking Alphard/Elgrand.

    "Now"? MINI's have ALWAYS led these charts. My 2003 MINI is also the worst rated vehicle for it's year. *shrug*

    except...

    this one has grown 98mm in length, but, to the disappointment of anyone who’ll ever sit in the back, only 28mm in wheelbase. The remainder has been eaten up meeting pedestrian safety standards and providing a much-needed 30% improvement in luggage space.
    and didn't like the gearing and I can see why.

    BMW has saddled the Cooper with a decidedly unsporting set of ratios that don’t let the little triple show what it can really do. Second gear runs to 70mph and third to over 100mph, meaning that not only is in-gear go compromised, but the big gap hurts through-the-gears pace too. This is a great little engine, but it never feels quite as energetic as it could.
