Had the chance to drive my buddy’s Mini last week. I was in total awe. I wasnt sure at first if the engine was really starting because I couldnt hear it roaring. It was completely quiet inside. I rolled down the window and could only hear wind howling and people chatting. It feels very relaxing and comfy at all. The acceleration is way smoother than I thought, which leads me to a higher speed than expected. It was an overall enjoyable experience.
