soopah Posted December 31, 2008 Share Posted December 31, 2008 1.5 inches is a pretty good amount car to car. Im glad canada has minis, im just having some trouble seeing how a very light, fwd, low to the ground car is that great in the snow. But maybe im missing something I don't disagree with your preconceptions. It is a low car. Usually clearance isn't an issue with winter driving, just once in awhile. You've just got to try driving one sometime.

05GT Guru Posted December 31, 2008 Share Posted December 31, 2008 I dont need winter driving tips, but thank you. I have driven a mini s but never in snow. I would like to test it out with some winter tires and see how it does. I have driven srt-4s in the snow i know not the same car but still light, fwd, turbo and kinda low to the ground it had all seasons and sucked complete ass. The speed 3 wasnt great but it wasnt bad.

Bolksey85 Posted December 31, 2008 Share Posted December 31, 2008 I never had a problem in like 3 or 4 inches in my MINI. Luckily at the same time, the year I got mine was when snow was a rarity in PA. Seems to be changing this year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its the shaggin wagon... Have you shagged in your wagon yet? I have in my sedan and the easiest way in a sedan is to use the passenger seat layed back. But after the second time i noticed that my passenger seat always thought someone was sitting in it, so i needed to have the seat buckle locked or it would beep all the time. So i refuse to use the car for that anymore because its just like paying for sex, i have to pay 100 bucks for subaru to fix my seat sensor lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

05GT Guru Posted January 5, 2009 Share Posted January 5, 2009 Why, most of us are adults. Im just letting you know if you use the passenger seat and get a little rough you may be paying for the seat sensor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it has something to do with the seatback tilt mechanism. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anthony6151 Posted January 7, 2009 Share Posted January 7, 2009 If you really care about your son and you don't want him to get into an accident, unless your absolutely sure he would be responsible, you shouldn't give him a car with a turbocharger.

Jacks GT Posted January 7, 2009 Author Share Posted January 7, 2009 I trust him, n im not giving him anything, he's paying for it himself. Hey, you young'ens in here, how much are you paying on insurance if you dont mind me asking? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
