    Welcome both. You will enjoy the mini I'm sure. You will have to comment on how you find the Minis handling compared to the Lotus'.

    Not fully tested the Mini handling yet as I didn't want to go too crazy in the test drive hehe I'll throw it around a few corners and roundabouts properly when we pick it up and compare how it feels.

    I know it's not going to be quite the same as the Exige or the Elise, but just from the test drive and the one other time I drove a Mini, the handling was better than any other small hatchback car I'd ever driven. That was our main reason for going for a Mini - obviously not the same handling as the Exige, but still handles really well and is great fun to drive I'm really looking forward to having fun driving it
