Still have my 2001.5 VW Passat 1.8T, Frankenturbo and supporting mods to go along with. Just about as fast as my 350! But no where near as reliable. PITA, really.

My is350 replaced my 05 Toyota Matrix. The power boost is amazing as it was about a 180hp gain and the luxary upgrade is definately worth it. Absolutely no regrets as of yet

Default 2007 Mini cooper s

This is my wife's car, and she is so happy to get out of the mini we had nothing but problems and the car only had 50,000 miles when we got ride of it. We are so happy to have another dependable japanese luxury automobile after all the problems we had with a german piece! We also previously had an acura CL type s and loved the car.

Ummmm ......... correct me if i'm wrong but i do believe the Mini is actually a British made car rather than German.

I'm almost positive that the Mini is built by BMW, but I could be mistaken.

I replaced my 2008 Infiniti G37S coupe with a 2011 IS350 F-Sport. My G was black on black and my IS is Ultrasonic blue. I must say that I miss the exhaust note of my G, the tighter steering, and the lively ride. My Lexus is a beautiful car, but I have to say it is nowhere near as sporty as the Infiniti. Hopefully after some mods like intake, exhaust, and some sways I will be happier with my car.

LOL when I saw your pic I knew you had to be from either MN or WI....thankfully I missed this last winter while I was in SE Asia!

My last car was an '06 IS250 which I sold a year ago before moving overseas. When I returned to the US 2 months ago I immediately went out in search of a new IS250. Last friday I purchased my 08 IS250. AWD of course....it's Minnesnowta!!!

Mini is a British Brand owned by BMW. BMW also distributes the British Rolls Royce Brand
