    I assume their version of traction control off is just DTC off not full disable?

    I need to play around with the sporty dynamics more. A car meant to be driven after all

    Questions about TechRadar's editorial rigor arise immediately when I see a photo of a 2022 SE below the words "110 miles at a time." The article hammers on the SE's 110-mile EPA range over and over, making me wonder if the writer, Myriam Joire, was simply sourcing an old MINI Cooper SE review for specs. Where did she get the 0-60 mph time of 6.5 seconds?

    I don't miss the option of yellow seatbelts Myriam begs for and I was surprised to learn the HUD is a color display even though I use it every day. Did it change for 2022?

    I've seen the HUD show speed limit signs in Germany with their red outline, so I'd guess it can do color?

    Yes - the 2022 HUD has colors. Older versions are black / white?

    I read the article a few days ago. Great example of how to say something worth three words in seven.

    I read it as fully disabled, but maybe I'm projecting. The reviewer seemed rather familiar with driving FWD vehicles.

    My 2021 SE has a color HUD. On turn-by-turn I get green to show which lane to be in.

    My 2021's HUD is also in color. Most evident with navigation graphics and when scrolling through radio presets/media playlists.

    Oh, I forgot about the navigation display on the HUD. I'm always driving in known territory so I never use the nav.

    Many European parking stalls are only 7.5-7.8 feet wide and parallel parking spaces might be as little as 6.5 feet wide. Downsizing to a MINI does wonders for your garage space. I've reclaimed almost 4 feet (length) in the garage.
