I turned my condo into a castle

I love this car so much (I am a sales estimator for a remodeling company) that I made a custom protective bag to carry my ladder in the back, purchased bags and gear to hold all my samples, and I have a portable navigation system. I live and breathe in my MINI. I drive the heck out of it on appointments, and on weekends I hang out and go on drives with other MINI maniacs! I went to Casino Morongo last weekend and am going to Vegas in a week and a half. I have had two Chevrolet Corvettes, and my MINI may not be as fast, but it handles far better! I am getting 28 mpg con ity roads which I think is great as I'm always stopping and going. There's no need for a gas hog like a Hummer. Minis are classically in and they hold their value.

I'm 65 years old and driving this car makes me feel as I did at 17. There are several features which I enjoy, from the performance to the looks I get driving it.

The Mini is a Hoot

The Mini is a "big car in a little body." It has plenty of power on the highway, gets great gas mileage, and is just plain fun to drive. The only negative thing about it is that it uses a higher grade of gasoline than most.

I am a car person and have driven about every car out there from the Lincoln Town Car, Mazda Miata convertibles, SUVs, Mercedes SL500s, and I absolutely love my MINI. It is by far the most fun I have ever had driving since I got my license. The only thing I would trade it for would be another one!

The MINI Cooper S is truly a great car. Some much fun to drive. I'm pretty tall- 6'1" and I'm still very comfortable in the car. The leg room in the back seats isn't that great, but you can take people in relative comfort. One thing that I love is the sound it makes. I can't get over it- you just want to drive faster and faster!!! If you don't understand why this car is so great, just test drive one and you'll understand. By the way, the MINI staff at Morristown MINI of NJ are great and you can tell they love what they sell.
