The caller wanted a Mini. Her husband wanted an RX8. You thought an RX8 would not work in winter, and than a Mini would not be enough fun for a guy who wanted an RX8. I think you’re wrong on both counts.

No one needs 4wd, or at least hardly anyone does. My brother has been driving an RX8 in Toronto for a couple of winters with no issues. I’ve been driving Miatas in the winter for 12 years. The key to winter driving is to buy real snow tires.

The caller could easily get an RX8 and survive the winter.

Furthermore, the Mini is a fine car for a car enthusiast. I’d cheerfully drive a Mini or an RX8.
