@DualofChaos You can get a Mini up to $51,000, so I don't know what you're talking about. But then this looks much better than the GTI and Mini. I like all three.

@medow006 Well that's with a ton of stuff. And you do get what you pay for.

[medow006]

[medow006]

yeah and "performance sedan like a gti." another incompetent statement.

[medow006]

nice try, bonetops at carreview(dot)com...where do you get your numbers? c30 weighs 2970 lbs. gti weighs 3100 lbs.  look it up if you don't believe me.
