ULTRA-WIDE BULLDOG STANCE

Fact #1: MINIs are among the shortest cars in the U.S. That spells parallel parking utopia.

Fact #2: Proportionately speaking, a MINI is also one of the widest cars in the U.S. And that's a big reason for its superior handling. With the wheels pushed all the way out to the corners, it has virtually no overhangs, which means no front or back ends swinging around on sharp corners. And the low, stable center of gravity helps you maintain excellent balance. But in the end, it's the width that matters, and it's our classic "bulldog" stance ­ short and wide ­ that gives your MINI an exhilarating Go-Kart feel and the phenomenal ability to quickly change direction on the open road.
