Comment Get a Mini (Score 1) 520

In EU models of the Mini Cooper, especially the Cooper D, you get many of the features of the Hybrid with out the battery:

1. Regenerative breaking (using the alternator to charge the battery)
2. Stop/Start engine (stop the engine at intersections, then, using the energy recovered from breaking, start it back up on demand)
3. Awesome milage

Of course, the USA model doesn't have these features. I'll leave you to speculate why.
