15. It's a neat little car
But way out of my price range. My Scion is great. I am very happy with it. It's also a little bit roomier than the Cooper. The one thing I don't like about it is no trunk. And there is even less of a trunk in the Cooper.

I wish now I had bought a Prius but they had none in stock when I bought my Scion. I definitely plan on getting a Prius for my next vehicle, unless another hybrid looks better to me.
