I don't think the insurance companies see the Mini as a risk..........even the Cooper S......... And of course i'd be mad to replace it with that...........but...eh......whats your point???:D:D:D:D:D

Mini850 wrote: » Actually, the Abarth is something I'm also considering! What ever I buy may replace the Mini, but I don't think Ill ever sell it. It was an unmolested 1 owner car before I got it so had a decent life and got everything it needed. It will stay with me for a while, if not be my main car. But try one out. It is an amazing little car. Not everyone's cup of tay but I love it. If the handling, and performance doesn't float your boat, the supercharger whine and the exhaust pop, which are there as standard (After 04 for the exhaust pop) will. Well it does me, but I'm a big kid. They are very tunable and 200bhp is very achievable, with relative ease. Downside is space, there is none.....Abarth and Mini R53 wouldn't be too dissimilar. They also have niggly issues that if you know how to identify and fix, are not too bad. Another thing is don't expect any more than 35mpg. The Ride is harsh so while you will enjoy some serious handling, it can be a bit crashy, not helped by the runflats (no room for spare) If you have any specific question on R53s, message me. Ive had mine about a year and a half and pretty much know the story with them now.
