I'm a Cooper owner for four months. I chose to look at a Cooper after test driving a Yaris (driving in a head wind switched me off the Yaris). Another reason I chose the Cooper was for the gas mileage, though my lead-foot doesn't seem to help much... By contrast the Cooper test drive was exhilerating. Since our purchase in February at Sterling Mini in VA, we've gone to the Dragon and back and we look forward to meeting other like-minded Mini owners.

Thanks for all your encouraging messages! In fact I just joined the DC Metro club. And I second the statement made by o4amini, "No better way to break-in a MINI than on the Dragon, woohoo!"
