Replying to: lucien2 (Oct 31, 2009 5:32 am) My WRX is pretty stiff on bad pavement too; not a pleasant place to be, for sure. The Mini requires premium gas, I would assume?

Replying to: rsholland (Oct 31, 2009 6:56 am) it does, but so far the computer says we're making 34mpg. Must have been because rush hour didn't allow us to open it up much yesterday The extra length really does make a world of difference. I see the test car photos are with 16" rims. The sport package suspension upgrades and the 17s make it even more athletic, but with a ride penalty some may not be prepared to pay. Torque steer is an issue, no doubt.

Replying to: lucien2 (Oct 31, 2009 5:32 am) Very nice.. that's really a great deal on a CPO model.... Lots of options.. The MINI is on my list as a possible next vehicle... Replies to this message: lucien2 (Nov 03, 2009 9:37 am)

Replying to: kyfdx (Nov 01, 2009 6:06 am) mileage down to 25 in the city, which is certainly more realistic, especially considering the heavy stop n go rush hour I was in. Haven't done any highway driving yet, so I can't say how that will impact the average. I had it on the highway for about 10 minutes today and picked up nearly 2mpg on the avg. Oh yea, Kirst is home sick which is the only reason I'm getting any seat time

Replying to: rsholland (Nov 02, 2009 1:11 pm) Neat. Wonder if we'll get another Forester Sports XT?

Replying to: rsholland (Nov 03, 2009 4:30 am) That's incredible. Had I an extra $20,000 lying around, I would have purchased a set of tracks for my various Subaru vehicles by now. I tell my wife that at least once a year, and she just rolls her eyes at me.
