So it's FWD... and that makes it a Mini... Really?? It's BMW's version of a Golf/Focus/A Class etc... and why not! First drive impressions are apparently very good and if they go down the same route as with the new 3 this should be a real good car! Yes FWD cars can be great to drive!!
Sure, but all things being the same, RWD is better. It's the reason why most of us on this forum bought their respective bmws. Plus mini competes against those cars(golf, focus), whereas BMW sort of doesn't.
