New to Club, New to Mini - Arlington Texas
Hey folks. I just purchased a 2011 Cooper S last weekend. It's a complete blast to drive. I'm coming from a 2002 Honda S2000, which was also a great car. The handling characteristics on the Mini are similar, which is something I was looking for in a new car.
Honestly, I wasn't seriously considering one until I drove it. I really wanted to test drive the Countryman, which I did. I found the Countryman to have a very refined ride, yet still nimble. Then I drove the Cooper S... that was it. I thought about ordering one, but I liked the April incentives and the dealer gave me a great deal. I probably wouldn't have chosen Turd Brown, but the color is growing on me more every day. I got the premium package and mini connect. I wish it came with the convenience package as well, but no luck finding that on the lot. Not having Homelink is a bummer.
I've enjoyed reading so far and have learned quite a bit. First up: hardwiring the radar detector and getting Mini Connected to work properly (yes, I am having the same problems as everyone else).
