This is one of the more interesting reviews I have seen. Instead of a single journalist reviewing the car, it also includes reviews from 3 other non-journalists.
>For a car as small as this, the new Mini has excellent legroom, and enough space to fit two children and associated luggage. I found the build quality excellent, and the plush colour-coded leather trim and smooth chrome fittings perfectly complement the car’s eye-catching good looks – it was certainly more Napoli than Noddy!
For each reviewer, it also lists their current vehicles. Definitely worth a read, even for those in the US.

Still makes me hope that we eventually will see a mini d make it to this side of the pond.
Psst – DB and Gabe – Edmunds.com has just put up a full test review of the 2007 Cooper S!
Back to the review at hand – yes, I agree with Jon that it would be great to see the MINI D make it here – up here in Canada, the Smart Fortwo (with the diesel engine!) has been a big hit, the MINI D would be too.
