I dunno , I've driven my GF's mini on the same day and course as my Yaris with the same wheels/tires , about as even as you can get . The Yaris was .2 seconds faster . I did 4 runs (fun runs) with the mini . Twice the mini's power steering failed , or rather hiccuped .
I think the mini is over rated . A lot of peeps see what the mini s is capable of and think the mini (regular) will do the same thing or even close . It won't . Sidebar mini rant : Be glad you own a Yaris . My GF's mini has 55,000 miles on it . So far the transmission ($8800) , power steering ($1100) ,and rear brakes ( calipers , pads , rotors and sensor , $1300 ) have been replaced . Luckily the tranny was covered by the extended warranty . ( Damn , price wise , we not far away from a brand new Yaris ) Like I tell my GF , "If you take a pile of shit and put it in a pretty package and throw in the phrase German Engineering , white people will buy it ". I totally agree that a skilled driver in a supposedly slower car will be faster than a non skilled driver in a supposedly faster car on an Autox course . Sorry for getting off topic with the rant . Oh BTW , killer pics Yaris X
