Well, not for a single person, I don't suppose they are impractical -- when
I was in College I had a Spider Fiat and certainly didn't consider *it*
impractical ..... but then I got married and my (now-ex) husband thought it
incredibly impractical as he liked to do his own automotive repairs and didn't
own
metric tools to deal with the "spaghetti can". (He took it to work one day
and abandoned it somewhere in the country fields. I was livid.) But back to
the question of Mini-Cooper practicality -- groceries and kiddos to haul!
And yes, I badly miss parallel parking my Fiat! (and the 30 some odd miles
per gallon.) (Oh, and the turning a hair-pin curve at 90 mph and stopping on
a
dime and oh, yes..... the wooden dashboard etc. God, I loved that car.
And I *hate* automatics, which is what I have now -- a thoroughly practical
grocery-getter. There's no fun in driving if you don't have a stick-shift!).

Why is a mini-cooper impractical, Julie? They seem
to have extremely tight turning radii--that must
be why they are so popular here. Can fit them in
spots that other cars avoid.
