Hey everyone! I have finally decided to join the forum. I am very new to the Mini world. I have never owned one before, but in the market to buy a Mini in the coming months (currently saving up for a down payment).

I currently own a Chevy Malibu and while it has done it's job, I am so ready to join the Mini family. I have been looking and researching them for a few years now and can't wait until I can be called a proud Mini owner.

I am leaning towards the Countryman, but am open to the other models as well. Just need to find one that best fits my lifestyle.

I know I will learn a lot from all you guys and am excited to get started!

 

Good luck when you finally purchase your MINI! I'm buying a Roadster after the winter passes because we are relocating to the Florida Gulf Coast.

 

Thanks tampadave!

I was originally thinking about getting the convertible Cooper S, but really need a hardtop for a roof rack for my road bike.

 

Good choice down here! I can weave through tourists at a good rate!

 

Gotta love the tourists...

I was born and raised here in Fl..so I'm use to them..kinda...

 

Welcome from south west Florida . Good luck on the search. Lots of low mileage used minis for sale around here. I got a 2008 clubman s with 14k miles!

 

I love my clubbie! I got a 2011 clubman S and its absolutely the funniest car I've ever had. I wish I had more places to drive to!

 

greetings from orlandoze! currently a hardtopper, maybe go to a clubie in a few years. Never stops being fun to drive these things. Hope to see ya motoring around soon! And If ya haven't already, hop on sunshineminis.org for even more fun

 

Somaj - I am leaning towards a new Mini because it would be my first "new" car. I purchased my Malibu used and inherited a lot of issues, but I will keep my options open

 

eaglebeagle - I am looking forward to test driving soon. I haven't been on sunshineminis.org, yet..I'll be sure to check it out. thanks!
