This is also good for the car maintenance wise
I agree mini+fwd just seems they way they should be. Nothing wrong with FF cars if they tune the suspension right. The cooper s handles pretty well and doesn't run into understeer easily. I liked it a lot. |
Yeah the Scion FR-S could be a huge sucess! I can't wait to test drive one.
http://www.autoweek.com/article/2011...NEWS/110429985 RWD have many, many benefits over FWD cars. The main one in my book is they are more flickable than fwd at stock!
But for a lower powered economical MINI it doesn't make sense.
I think it is safe to say the MINI handles very well for a stock car with the price tag is has. And the MINI is very neutral, it's stock suspension setup is perfect! With a little left foot braking you can just whip it around tight turns! So much fun.
