    Cons: 2-door, bad if you're above 6'2", decent stereo, storage space

    Summary: The Mini is a great looking car, in all colors. The model I rented for a week was a dark red, and many heads were turning, although I'm not sure it was because of the color or size.. If you're under six feet tall, you'd love the size and roominess ... read more
