As you can see, the Mini E fit easily in the space my Prius-driving neighbor left me last night. Trouble is, it wasn't really that easy to get in there. That whole electric motor thing is the problem. It just doesn't creep very well. Try to ease your way into a space and the Mini E just sits there waiting for you to stab the throttle. Then, of course, you get all that instant torque, well, instantly, so you have to use a little left foot braking to keep it under control. Not a big deal really, but it's one of those things that still needs to be worked out for electric cars to make them more like their gasoline counterparts.
