Dang, that’s actually looking
The Official 4zilch Garage
I have asked to buy yours a few times.
I think if I did the hatchback thing it would be a FiST or MS3 or I would just on a HypeR, Veloster N, or FoRS. I covet all of those.

I want the HypeR but I don't think the body style works for me. I like plain and clean designs. FoRS is my favorite to look at. I think that I'm all hot-hatched out, funny how people always want what they don't have.

If I were going to on any hot hatch it'd be a 2021 JCW Mini.
Probably not as good as the HypeR or FoRS, but uniqueness scores high marks with me.

A Mini is certainly on the list as well, they are cool as hell. I'd probably go on that though, used JCWs are pretty affordable.

It would be justifiable if they didn't depreciate like an S class but unfortunately that's not the case.
I find it ironic that initially when the R gen was launched they had EPIC resale, yet they were unreliable POSs with countless issues (until the later years).
And now that the F gen is actually reliable, the brand damage has been done and no one wants them because the expectation is that they will fall apart.

All the reviews I've read/watched make it sound like this is the worst car ever produced. So strange. Does look fanfuckingtastic, though.Detroit wrote: ↑Thu Oct 29, 2020 1:58 pm I thought GPs were rare, but the MINI in Detroit has 2...

This intrigues me...particularly the even more Paceman. They're rather cheap too.[user not found] wrote: ↑Thu Oct 29, 2020 3:58 pmI think the new one is fantastic. Same goes for the Clubman.
The old Countryman was a bit of a cobbled together mess - it was a slapdash effort to get an SUV to market for the brand, and it suffers from some faults. #1) Undersized clutch, #2) Underpowered, #3) Ride quality is rubbish in stock form. That being said, it hits a good mark in terms of being a fun AWD manual hatchback quasi-SUV thing.
