Bought a Mini Cooper
 
Well, finally pulled the trigger. Looked at all the models y'all recommended when I started the search a few months ago - and thanks, they were all good recommendations.

It came down to buying from someone I know (original owner) who is a car nut like me, full service records, and enough research to make me comfortable with Maggie driving the car safely.

2012 model with 18,000 on the clock - she loves it, which means I can watch the movies I like for a couple of weeks. :D

You Oligarch, you. Is she going to let you drive it?

Enjoy, Cats. :cool:

They are supposed to be a hoot to drive.

Cool car. My best buddy has a Cooper S and it's a hoot to drive, kinda like a high-end go-kart.

That's exactly what it feels like. It is a Cooper S - but an automatic. :( Easier for her, and if she's not happy I'm bunking outside with the raccoons.

Maybe- if I start showing a little more initiative with the household chores . . .

Very nice little BMW! ;)

Anyway - I like the classical Mini Cooper S more... without all the nowadays gimmicks...

I've heard the maintenance is expensive.

It is, according to one former owner.
