Purchased a new LiBlue 2012 Mini S Convertible

This car has a great "fun to drive" factor. great mileage, great handling, and plenty of features. Traded in my 2009 Mustang GT convertible with no regrets,

You discovered the "MINI Secret" -- all the fun, more than enough speed (deceptively quick is what I tell people) and great gas milage. Win, win, win!

That's what sold me. The Countryman has good space and there's not much out there with its combination of quickness and fuel economy. Of course the smaller models are even quicker and more fuel efficient.

Thanks. I cannot believe how well it rides at highway speed. A hundred feels like sixty. Not that I will be doing that very often.
