Hi all. My wife and I are on the search for our first mini. We went and test drove a couple over the weekend. 2013 sand a jcw 2013. Still want to drive a earlier supercharged one. We haven't had a play car do to kids for 5 yrs. so its time. We are former porsche drivers, 951,968. Looking to switch it up some. Plus the kids fit better in the mini.

 

Welcome aboard. Good luck with your search for you MINI. When you do find the right one you will know it as it will bring out your emotions and it will put a big grin on your face. Even after many years of ownership it still brings out the smiles on many owners including myself. As far as driving a supercharged one, be prepared as they drive totally different. The new ones have a softer feeling and the older ones are raw and rough. Keep us posted on your search and like I said good luck.

 

Thats what I hear. I hope so the new one was a little to refined for my taste.

 

Welcome to NAM. Wishing you the best of luck on the search for your perfect MINI.
