Summary
What does this car say about you?
I love a good handling car with a bit of power!
What do your friends / family / neighbours think of the car?
They love it, no one hates a MINI if they're honest!
Would you buy this car again and why?
Possibly for my soon to be wife- but I'd like to move on to something more powerful and with a little more prestige.
What are you likely to buy next?
Depends if my career truly takes off! If it does, a Porsche 911 would be nice, if not a boxster will do!

Franchise

Yes

£17,500
When did you buy the car?
May 2009

Well I did in a way, my car was written off, not my fault, and it was under a year old so got my all my money back. Then bought the S.

My Cooper D was kindly written off by some psycho!
What was the dealer like?
Like any other dealer- they need to make a living...

Driving it
What's it like to drive?
Lovely- only a 1.6 but turbocharged! It's quick, not outrageously fast, but I'd say quick!
What's it like to park?
It's a MINI, if you can't park it forget driving!
-
Living with it
Have you had any problems with the car?
Not yet- touch wood. Only a few months old though!
What's most practical about your car?
Err... the two front seats? You don't buy a MINI for the space, the rest is brilliant though!
Favourite gadget, option or accessory?
Xenon headlights
