    mini cooper para sa akin. medyo dated na din ang looks ng eclipse para sa akin. besides, classic talaga ang mini kaya matindi din ang cult following niya here & abroad

    You don't need to sell the Escape. You can get an all-in 1990's Mini for under 300k pesos.

    True, some parts will be hard, but you can modify the Mini to take japanese ancilliaries... in fact, conversion to a Japanese alternator is a good idea. But for other stuff... there are a few shops and groups dedicated to the Mini around here... in fact, there's one shop in BF Homes that sells Mini accessories and mags.



    Sure, the Mini might not have the horsepower or the convenience of an Eclipse, but if you want a car to "hataw", it can be downright fun... like a go-kart with a roof.

    An Eclipse? Well... if you get a turbo, it'll be fun, exciting and in need of a lot of work. If you get a non-turbo... well... you might as well get an SiR for all the excitement it would give you.

    Mini Cooper.

    Although I find guys who drive big automobiles more appealing.

    It's the Mini for me nice and cute. Chicks love cute things.

    In fact it's so cute they use it as bump cars in some countries...

    Really? Then take a look... it's along President's Ave (I think...) near the Pizza places, on the same building as the luxury car lot out by Tahanan Village.

    Mini Cooper over the Eclipse by a long shot. As far as not being fast, you must not know about the racing heritage of the Mini in both road courses and rally racing. In SCCA racing alot of people use Mini Coopers for racing as Nicky said it's handling is like driving a go kart. Before the WRX and EVO there was the Mini Cooper and it's dominace in rally racing.

    Mini Cooper for me.

    Classic looks, easy to dress up, cult following, easy to park and fuel efficient too I suppose (since it's lightweight).

    Kung gusto mo magpa impress, depende pa rin kasi sa babae yan.

    If I were you, I'd get a car I really like. Kasi kahit gaano kapogi yang oto mo, kung di mo naman ganun ka gusto or meron kang mas gusto, baka di mo rin maenjoy. Women will date you whether you have a Mini or an Eclipse.

    AUSTIN MINI:



    The same car as Mr Bean drives.



    Personally, the old mini's appeal ends as soon as you drive beside a truck or bus.

    or when you're in a mall, and re-runs of Mr. Bean are airing in the food court or some shop window. your hot chick sees the crowd/bystanders laughing, by association baka magmuka kang Mr. Bean
