A R50 Mini Cooper.

Kinja'd!!!

It slow, but they handle very well. They also don’t have the problems of the R53 with the super charger. I’ll also dare say its like a FWD Miata. They are also dirt cheap to buy. Their proportions are also perfect.

The Miata wishes it were an Integra.

Do it. Do it now! I love mine a ton. They are surprisingly quick for something with only 115hp. You don’t notice a relative lack of power until you are under 3k in 4th. Really they are plenty quick up to about 60mph.

I have a friend who had one. Traded it for FoST. Said dealer clutch replacement was quoted at 3k. Other shops wouldn’t even touch it. Plus you get the pantheon of quality, German engineering built by the British.

I like it, from now on a Miata is a RWD Integra.

My friend just traded his 2005 R50 for 2009 Coblat SS Sedan. He would not let me drive it. Driving with it, it is was damn quick.

They will keep up with a lot of actually quick cars in the twisties. That’s why they are bumped up a class for autocross.

With a more open intake the NA engine sounds pretty good as well. Nice and grumbly and angry.
