There’s no disputing the 3 series is unsurpassed at highway cruising, but I find our 330i a little clinical – it’s so flawless in its every execution. The MINI just feels so much more alive.
DB, I’m totally with you on the Chevy Sprint thing. I myself drove an 85 Sprint in high school and loved the thing. It is what actually turned me on to MINIs in the first place. What’s the saying…more fun driving a slow car fast than a fast car slow…I loved rowing that thing through the gears and exacting everything I could out of that engine and tranny while getting 50mpg. It was great little car, and the reason why I have my MINI right now.
I don’t think I said I loved that car, but it was a sweet ride until the headgasket gave out at about 110K miles (yes, I put over 100K miles on all my cars).
But you are right, screaming onto the freeway at 80MPH in 4th gear was always a ton of fun!
I’d like to point out that the grille badge holders do work on non-MINIs. Case in point:

Can anyone speak to the differences between the OutMotoring grille badge and the one from MINI (for twice the price, of course)?
I think a holiday themed badge would be cool, like a wreath or something…
Do you have to purchase a 3 spoke wheel? Does it not come with the sport package anymore? 🙁
