#267 of 268 test drove, MS3, SI, Mini S by nagatahawk Jul 30, 2007 (1:04 pm)
I test drove the Civic 4d si, and the speed 3 and the mini s among others. the mini was the most impressive of the three, but on the small side. I need a car to throw may rc equipment or my bike. Maybe with the front wheel off...   the civic drove like most hondas, however the revs did not drop between shifts. that was annoying because the high revs caused the car to lurge forward. It was a turn off. I've heard there is fix for this. I hope so.   I loved the styling of the Speed 3 and it had lots of room in the back. and lotsa power, the power cause the car to pull even at low throttle applications. loved the power. I've heard people complain about the shifting. They should drive my BMW 325i manual with rubbery stock shifter. after coming from that the speed 3 shifted like a champ.   the mini was perfect, shifted like a breeze, good low end torque, cornered like a champ. hated the chrome speedo the size of your head. I'll have to check to see if my bike will fit inside.   I have 6 more months to make up my mind. my lease ends in Jan 08.   btw I tested the Audi 3 loved the DSG. Hated the sales man. He seemed nice enough at first, but when he called me back. I couldn't get him off the line and he would not come down the the price.   funny how the littlest annoying things can turn u off to buying a car.   I may have to retest the MS3 later or wait for the 2008s.

Replying to: nagatahawk (Jul 30, 2007 1:04 pm) you should check out the gti 4 door, it has the same engine, suspension and dsg as the a3 and its cheaper.   unless you prefer the styling of the a3 and some content, i guess you will still need to consider the mini and ms3
