There are two models of hte Mini, Copper and Coppers S the S model are the supercharged model, these cars are build and assembelded by BMW and sold under the Mini name. The Dodge is a great car and over the last 4 years Dodge Reliablity (coinsiding with Mercedes buying them) has gone way up espically in the Neon, they car and engine were completly redesigned, I know about 5 people with either Neon's or SRT 4 and have own them for over a year some even 3 now and have nothing but good things to say about them.

However I did see a civic Si at the local dealer marked down to 15,695 which is a bargin for that car, but I would still own a copper s out of all of them, speed is not everything
