Greetings
Please allow me to introduce myself. I am not an owner (yet?) but have a recently developed interest in a Mini.
I was poised to buy a new car soon, and had my choice mostly narrowed down. Then came escalating gas prices. I decided I needed something more economical than my domestic choice, so I looked at economy cars. It was generally my conclusion that most cars with good mpg also come with a healthy dose of b-o-r-i-n-g. And, then I thought Mini! If I could get better mpg plus a smile on my face that would be certain win/win.
My first visit to the Mini website convinced me that good mpg need not be coupled with a spartan, ugly vehicle. I did a test drive a couple of weeks ago and couldn't stop smiling. So, I think I'll hang out here, ask a question or two, learn what I can and see how my interest develops.
