Mini S!!! As for the insight, you would be doing your part for the environment, but if you like to go 0-60 in less than 15 minutes, it probably isnt the right car. | ||

The Mini is a great choice. It's tight inside, but you have a Tahoe for carrying stuff, so why not? My brother just got his Mini last week and it's fantastic. The only problem you'll have with the Mini is dealing with the ego blow when you realize that it's a bigger babe magnet than your TR! | ||

I would scratch out the Insight. I have a Mini and I LOVE it but I miss my father's E39 M5. He had to sell it earlier this summer but man what a car, I definitly would go for the M5 if you not only want good handling for a 4000lbs sedan but also if you want space for friends, kids and everything they bring for the weekend! The M5 will be a classic in the History of the M brand, especially being such a capable car! But hurry up if you want a brand spankin new one as the production runs end early next year! The Mini is great too, good handling, good power for a 4 cylinder and cute looks! Definitly doesn't have the space of the other one! Good gas mileage is also a plus. But be careful with the small wheelbase, it WILL surprise you! I'd go for the M5! I'm only 20 but when I come in a position where I have a couple of garage spots and money to spare, a spot is already reserved for a black E39 M5! | ||

I'd go for the Mini. It's a blast to drive. It's what the Miata was in 1990, a fun little car you can drive 10/10ths on the street. I loved the Miata(had 3 of them) and the new Mini is better. Just make sure it's an "S". | ||

Odd collection of cars you're comparing Will lol... They're all extremely different... Personally, if I had the means, I would add the curren E39 m5 to my stable- great car for the track (put it in your trailer with your 512tr, instead of squashing 5 into a 2-door neon ;). | ||

Thinking of adding a new car to the fleet. So far Mini is ahead. I live in Miami in an apt building. Got the 512TR & the Tahoe. Want something cool, comfy, & small to drive around town in. Tahoe is no fun. I like the Mini cus its small but safe & has good milage. The Insight has amazing MPG but I'd have nightmares about getting hit by a large SUV in that tin can. M5 is great looking fast & sexy. Probably way too much for just driving around Miami but she's hot!!!!! |
