New Civic
How do yous feel about the new Civic? I'm thinking of trading the Cooper in for one, I am going to go test drive one on wednesday...
Check out the gauges, that's my next favorite thing on the car...
My favorite thing, navigation!
Around $20K gets SO MUCH. I'm hyped for it!

I do like the looks of the new Civic, but I'm not too keen on the interior, I find it way too big. They have made the Civic into a larger car which is fine, but they just filled that space with a huge dash. As far as trading in the Mini, personally I wouldn't do it. If you like a car that handles like its on rails then I think you are going to be extremely disappointed with the Civic, but if you like a car that has lots of gadgets then I really can't help you there.

The only way the civic would compare to the Mini is if you got the Si, and beefed it up with lots of suspension mods. Otherwise, stock versus stock...stay with the Mini. smile.gif

See, I'm like through with the whole "tuned" thing. I just want 40mpg and to look decent doing it. lol, it's like the MINI was my mid-life crisis, because now I'm looking at cars like the Civic.
I don't even want the Si, I want the EX.

If you're done with the "tuned" thing then why get rid of the Mini. There's no reason to compelling reason to change to the Civic. I think the Mini looks "decent". If your done your mid-life crisis, it sounds like your ready for retirement if you want an EX.

The Civic would be about $125-$200 less per month.
Here is the engine bay...
