Frenchman Posted July 14, 2005 Report Share Posted July 14, 2005 It all depends what you want and what your budget is for a car. IMO the mini is the best car and is the most fun and best handling small car out there still after all these years. To answer your questions the rover mini and the austin mini are the same car apart from the age. They began as the austin mini and then became the rover mini in the late 80's early 90's. There is no difference apart from the name and engine sizes depending on models. A 998cc will be reasonably nippy and driveable, you could do somemotorway traveling aslong as you are careful but i wouldsn be too keen on the idea. personally i would look out for a 1275cc mini as they are so much more refined due to the increased power and torque. These will be better suited for motorway driving. Either way get a mini and have a car with a personality. (Y) Hope this helps Cheers Frenchman Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rocktrials Posted July 14, 2005 Report Share Posted July 14, 2005 i doubt a 1 litre will do 95 on motorway, as 1275 would probably reach 90.....might depend how long and straight motorway is.....im just thinking about my local bypass atm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
