New, Used Car

Hey guys and Gals. I finally made a huge change. I traded in my 2004 Ford F-150 4wd 5.4l auto on 35" tires, in for a 2009 DS/B MCS with the Cold Weather Package. I cannot believe I made the swap after having driven trucks all of my life. This car is incredible. It is peppy, zippy, and fun to drive. After driving a large truck that was what I thought was quick enough, this car is a true driver's car. I feel in tune with the car and can really know what it feels right through my steering wheel and seat.

I saw it had the MFSW and assumed that meant it had the bluetooth, so that will be a future upgrade/retrofit. Other than than that it has everything I could ask for and more.

I look forward to learning and reading more here on NAM and getting to know a few folks, hopefully somewhat locally. If this forum is like any of the other ones I have belonged to I will get pictures up shortly. I promise

You've made an excellent choice.

Would love to see pics of your DS/B if you get a chance!

I would personally invest in a good Bluetooth headset instead of doing the retrofit for the MINI. I have both, and the headset is SO much better. Just my $.02.
