Backlash Posted December 21, 2008 Share Posted December 21, 2008 you said you have both, a Mini and a LGT... get your son to get his friends over, and go for a ride in both. I think the Mini would be cheaper for insurance, but... get all his friends in the mini. it will be cramped. the Car does not make the person.... i hardly doubt most of us here are tree huggers, which a lot of people associate Subaru owners with. maybe point your son to a Sedan instead of the wagon. Although if they made the wagon still... i'd probably have the LGT wagon. I have always liked the Mini Cooper myself, but the FWD kills it for me. and the size... after being in one... i doubt i'd ever own one. Looks are not everything. It's like the Camaro above, looks like a plain Camaro. (the years i don't like the looks of either, i'll take the same years Firebird over the Camaro) but i bet it isn't even close to being "plain". EDIT: i forgot, crash wise. we know the Legacy IS 5 star crash rated, not sure what the Mini is. something you should look into, IMO safety should be high on the list also. maybe since he's 17 he may not want to get a Turbo car right away.. Insurance will not be easy on him at 17 regardless of which car he goes, turbo=$$$ for ins rates. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jacks GT Posted December 21, 2008 Author Share Posted December 21, 2008 Haha, I said his mother has a Mini, I have a Legacy, we broke up 14 years ago Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bolksey85 Posted December 21, 2008 Share Posted December 21, 2008 Actually the MINI has a lot of room. About 2 months after I got mine, 3 friends bugged me for a ride so we all piled in. Me driving, one kid who was maybe 5'8" next to me, a 5'10" kid behind me who weighs about 260lbs and another kid who's easily 6' something in the passeneger rear and not a single one had issues with room or comfort. Well, until they were banging heads around the turns.....And to clarify on insurance, I was 20 when I got my MINI and with a clean record and no driving school, was paying around $110-115 per month for full coverage on a 2003 Cooper (non-S). A few months ago when I picked up my LGT, my payments when I think 112 for my last MINI payment to maybe 116. 4 whole dollars more I pay each month!

edkwon Posted December 21, 2008 Share Posted December 21, 2008 WOW..... My statement was based upon me asking my son and daughter which car they would rather have...... My SON wants the LGT wag My DAUGHTER wants the Mini............ So what ????? Lighten up.

Backlash Posted December 21, 2008 Share Posted December 21, 2008 I meant plain meaning the car comes factory that way, wheels and all. and you said, i think it was you, 400whp. which is not factory. looks factory i should say, but isn't. looks are not everything. as for the dimensions on the cooper and LGT. LGT: Headroom front/rear (with sunroof): 37.5/36.5 Headroom front/rear (no sunroof): 39.5/36.5 Shoulder room front/rear 54.4/53.7 Legroom front/rear: 44.1/33.9 http://www.cars101.com/subaru/legacy/legacy2009.html#dimensions Cooper: Disregard Headroom front/rear 38.4/38.1 Shoulder room Front/rear 50.9/39.0 Legroom front/rear 41.3/27.5 http://autos.yahoo.com/mini_cooper_convertible_s-specs/?p=int headroom is about the same, everything else is in LGT's favor. I'm not entirely agreeing with the stated rear shoulder room on the cooper... thats quite a big difference if it's true. I just found the Yahoo link fast when i searched for int dimensions. Accurate or not, i dunno. the Cars101 info is accurate. EDIT: Bah... i posted the Cooper CONVERTABLE specs... no wonder something didn't smell right. Cooper S: Headroom front/rear 38.8/37.6 Shoulder room Front/rear 50.3/44.7 Legroom front/rear 41.4/29.9 http://autos.yahoo.com/mini_cooper_hardtop_s-specs/?p=int Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, until they were banging heads around the turns..... A friend of mine has a Cooper S. He gave me and another buddy a ride one day, and it was far from comfortable for me in the back seat. I'm 6'1, the driver is about 5'11, and the other guy is 6'6'" (I didn't sit behind him). I had to sit with my knees either between the two front seats. I couldn't even get my left knee past the driver seat to get one leg on either side...unacceptable for rides longer than about 10 minutes. So, Jack, how tall are your son's friends? On the flip side, his dad drives a 550 Maranello and says the Mini is almost as much fun... sorry...this forum practically blows goat nuts so im not always on here.Team Pony Express POSTED FROM MY COMPUTER USING A WEB BROWSER Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Garandman Posted December 21, 2008 Share Posted December 21, 2008 You can't tell me you'd be happy drivin around in VW bug lol.// I had three of them! And I had them in reverse order: first a '69, then a '67, and in 1982 I bought a 1964. The '64 had a bus motor (1600cc) and I bought it in Georgia so it still had heater boxes. Drove it for a couple of years while I was in the Army, and sold it without advertising - several people were lined up to buy it. Real men drive Chyslers - with automatics. Because a real man is not afraid to let a transmission shift for itself." "Real Men Don't Eat Quiche." When PGT got a second mini I asked, "You got a second wife?," but being notoriously overbearing he didn't think that was funny. Because I live in the city, short is good, so I test-drove the Mini. Fun, but too slow and being a BMW they nickle and dime you to death: an $18,900 car quickly became a $21,500 car. The Mini S was about the same delivered price as a WRX premium, so I drove one: game, set, match Subaru. There are plenty of Minis in Boston, though, because they're easier to shove in a smaller hole. I think it's funny that anyone would question the "manliness" of buying a Mini when the Outback was for a time one of the vehicles with the highest percentage of female ownership in the US - may still be, for all I know. The local Mini salesman was an interesting guy: he is the President of the New England Mini owners club, and past president of the national club. They have fun with them, but practicality is a different matter. Who Dares Wins スバル Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Denver133 Posted December 22, 2008 Share Posted December 22, 2008 I got a 96 Legacy wagon when I turned 16. To me, I needed more space to haul everything for all my activities and camping and such. Also, outta school activities where I needed to fold down the seats were the best thing out there! HA. The mini is an awesome car but if he is gonna hit some snow and might need a little room, go with the wagon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's not exactly endearing. So I remain curious why you don't have anything in your profile? Particularly to justify your self-appointed guru status.
