You're telling me that this diesel is cleaner than a hybrid? Not in a million years. Please stop hating on Toyota just because of their success.

Well the good thing is that over here you wold be UNABLE TO AFFORD A JEEP

And Running one would be even more Improbable for you.

So unless you are going to Push one into the rear of a mini i cannot see what the danger to the Mini passengers is.

I know this because you have a Jeep in the USA, It costs less than the Average Audi A3 does over here and gas is cheap for you

If you Lived over here where there are Lots of small Vehicles and Gas is $2 a litre ($7 per US Gallon) you would not be able run a Jeep so you would not be able to rear end a Mini.

The Mini has a 5-star Euro NCAP rating, the highest you can get. Its a safe car. Watch your driving and then you wont be rear ending people. ;)

Well said I95 i have a landrover disco 3...70+ pounds for a fill..gives over 500 miles per fill and that's with the td v6 engine..drove a jeep on the high way 3.7 ltr gas...gave me around 17 mpg USG that about 20 mpg....while the td v6 is giving close to 31 mpg or 26 - 27 mpg (US)..so he will need to lease a gas station if he drove that vehicle in the uk...
