Drove my first MINI tonight

I've been researching for a couple weeks and test drove a 2004 S tonight. Coming from a long line of BMW's, I was extremely surprised at how much power it had and how fun it is to drive.

The guy wants too much for it but I think I have the bug. I guess a trip to the dealer is next.

I thought my 7 series handled pretty well but this is a LOT more fun to really DRIVE.

Good Luck and you'll enjoy whichever one you eventually decide on..

I looked at the '07 and decided on mine.. STILL love it!

Thanks. I loved the whine of the SC but thought I should check out a new one as well. He wanted almost 19 for an 04 with 50k miles, curbed wheels and a pretty good scratch. There isn't much in the used market right now. I like your red/white combo.
