Netscape Autos has just listed it's “10 best steals among new cars” and as you can imagine the MINI fared well:
Where there are wheels, there are deals, and some deals are steals.
Which are the 10 best cars for the money? To start, obviously, they're not the most expensive. And, they're not necessarily the cheapest. They are, by definition, the 10 best values for your hard-earned cash…
Most Fun Motor Car: Mini Cooper S
It's got an amazing fun-to-drive quotient. There are 163 horses hidden in a four-cylinder engine, matched to a six-speed manual gearbox in a crisp-handling car that's just supercharged, pure fun. The interior shines, with several color choices for door and dash, so it's customizable at the dealer at no extra cost. The fun mobile gets more points for the huge sunroof — almost a convertible. Loaded with sport, leather and performance packages, it comes in more than $1,000 less than its nearest unloaded rival, the VW convertible turbo. Approximate price: $24,000
