1,864,289 Mini hatches have been built since 2001, and the last of the current generation was just completed at the Mini plant in Oxford. have no fear though, the factory has already begun production of the brand new 2014 MINI, which should hit British showrooms in Spring.
years ago I would agree with you on that statement but Ford has actually improved big time over the years. The new Escape, Focus hatch and sedan are GREAT cars.
Still nothing close to being as good as anything from BMW or Mini, but they improved.
Ford was the only North American auto company on my list for our new car. I loved their European models and love the Fusion in particular Can't stand any other model in their strictly car line.
Needless to say, we're chasing our dreams and went with a MINI.
