to be honest, its will be known in the house as the bmw...it's better than a focus or something anyway!

Owned one for three and a half years, been a brilliant car, however my sportspack is almost back on the road so it's time for the bini to go.

I have one! (I also have two Classics before anyone says anything)
As a Car ... they are very good. I just have a 2004 reg Mini Cooper. Fun to drive and even the Cooper is fast for a 1.6 N/A. I am looking to get rid of mine purely for the fact that they have no room in the boot or for peoples legs in the back.
Just test drive one and compare the drive to golfs, astras etc...

yeah, this will just be a "good car" for us, rather than an everyday run about quite fancy a golf gt tdi also, and had a couple of intersting offers as px for my mini! And it's always good to have an excuse not to cart drunken mates around!!I have one! (I also have two Classics before anyone says anything)

i quite like them too as far as modern cars go they certainly arent bad!
they look nice, theyre comfortable and nippy round town
i'd much rather have a Bini than a Fiesta, Corsa, Focus etc
the only other one it'd be in competition with is the 500 abarth they're gorgeous <3

i like BINIs i dont get the whole BINI hate scene there not trying to replace or steel original mini limelight. i want to get one and befoure people say that im leaving the mini scene in my opinion a 9 or 8 BINI costing 3.5-4 grand looks way cooler than anything else in that price range and age and performance(+insurance), and if i wanted something else more expensive i would have to sell my original mini which would be saved from rusting to oblivion as the BINI would become the daly.
