My wife and I are considering selling the CR-Z and buying a new Mini. We haven't taken one for a test drive yet, but I read that they're not quite as tossable as the previous generations were.
Her old 03 Cooper S was a blast to drive, aside from the fact that it had a rougher ride than a Radio Flyer on square wheels. She misses the hell out of that car, but we don't want to take a risk on an old Mini (the brand isn't known for reliability, or affordable repair costs!) She'd probably be happy with a new one, but I'm REALLY hoping that it's not too numb compared to her older ones. The numb, isolated feeling is part of what makes us less than enthusiastic about the CR-Z.
I'm just looking for experiences and impressions. So far, all I have is one magazine review that says it's not as good... I'm hoping that's not a universal opinion! We'll probably go out sometime in the next two weeks to test drive and talk to a salesman.
