Car Forum / MINI / February 2004Wheelbase question
I imagine the old-style Mini is one of the smallest cars on the road at the moment, if not the smallest. What other cars are there or thereabouts in the length stakes? ++ Fillyourboots Fiat 500 > I imagine the old-style Mini is one of the smallest cars on the road at the > moment, if not the smallest.

Mini: 80" Spridget: 80" Fiat 850: 79.8" Fiat 500: 72.4" Hillman Imp: 82" Haflinger Long Wheelbase: 71" Haflinger standard wheelbase: 58.5" <http://www.ebroadcast.com.au/ecars/Steyr/Haflinger.html> Pinzgauer (not a small vehicle!): 85.8" Pinzgauer 6x6: 78.7", 38.6" <http://www.csse.monash.edu.au/~lloyd/4/Steyr/Pinzgauer/> > I imagine the old-style Mini is one of the smallest cars on the road at the > moment, if not the smallest.

I guess the smartcars are similar (if not shorter), and the think electrical cars are about the same as well.. h > I guess the smartcars are similar (if not shorter), and the think > electrical cars are about the same as well.. The Smart is shorter, but wider and higher. >> I imagine the old-style Mini is one of the smallest cars on the road >> at the moment, if not the smallest.

Other posts suggested the Reliant, Fiat 500 and Hillman Imp, though you never see these cars on the road anymore. ++ Fillyourboots > Apart from the Mini, I figured the Smart would be one of the smallest, along > with the Fiats Seicento and Cinquecento.

I was in Paris a short while ago, and I saw 5-6 Fiat 500s, several Cinquecentos and I saw about 50 minis. In fact, I saw more minis in a day in Paris, than I do during an average day in the UK. Quite surprising, actually. h > I imagine the old-style Mini is one of the smallest cars on the road at the > moment, if not the smallest.

The mini has wheels stuck in each corner.
