I'm thinking of getting a Mini for my next car. I live in Ohio, we get a few days per year where I need to drive to work through snow. Can anyone tell me how the Mini's do in snow? Also what type of longevity can I expect from a Mini? (e.g., I expect 200K+ miles from my Honda Accord before it's ready for the junkyard.)
thanks, DB
Classic Mini or the :( BMW one ?

The new mini's that are popular here in the states, sorry! Guess that's the BMW one.

Yes they are great in the snow, just look at the 1965 Monte Carlo rally, over 200 cars started out & only about 30 finished, that year in the alps they had record snow levels & the rally was won by Timo Mackinen in a mini cooper with a 2 hour lead!

Steve yes your right, The Old, Traditional, Classic Mini Cooper. The best. Not the BMW one :(
no substitute for the genuine article :-)
ps anyone seen Fitzy?
Hi DB - there's a major difference between any Honda and a genuine Mini. No-one commits the genuine article to the junkyard! You could put the Honda lump into the Mini.....
