Not sure if I'll take the Mini plunge yet (still doing my homework), but just wanted to say hello to all of you.
I'm still looking around to convince myself (had a test drive 2 days ago)

 

Convince yourself?! What's there to convince about?

Seriously though, this forum's got a lot of helpful people and a lot of information. I don't have a Mini yet either (ordering in March tho!), but I found and worked out answers to a lot of questions with the help of the fine people here

 

Take your time Doru. I kinda went through a similar process (though I did order a few hours after the test drive). I agree with cameroon; this site is full of really insightful posts and helpful people willing to answer most any question you have.

Welcome to the site; hope you find the info you need here to make a good decision!

 

Thanks for the reply.
I am still reading. I want to make a good decision.

thank you

 

What other cars are you considering?

 

Keep my 530 or to get rid of it? Cannot afford 3 cars. But my 530 is running, well, strong. And still fun to drive.
I like the Cooper S too. Did a test drive and absolutely love it.

 

Welcome, Doru, and best of luck deciding your bells and whistles! Okay, okay, I know you're not absolutely set on the MINI yet, but I figured I'd speak as if you were. Hope the decision isn't too much of a struggle!

 

Go For It! You only live one!

What other car can make you feel like a ten year old?

Meet new friends, clubs, rallies, eat, and have fun at the same time.

You'll be glad you did.

 

Ah, I remember my very first Cooper test drive in October '02. I was sold immediately. I'm on my second MINI now, and I still appreciate this car every time I drive it. Glad you could join us...best of luck sifting out your next automotive procurement.

 

Part of the fun is configuring your MINI! What color are you leaning towards?
