Hey guys! My name is Erik and I just barely got into cars in general. I take it that this site primarily focuses on MINIs? If so that is fine because that is what I'm thinking of getting next! I currently drive a 2002 Mazda Protegé 5. It is a fun car to drive, but I've always liked MINIs for some reason. Out of this forum I seek to learn more about cars and MINIs themselves. Looking forward to this!

I do want to ask a question though. Since I want to get a MINI next, I want help selecting one. You see my price range is from $10,000 to $13,000. What model/years would you guys suggest for me to take a look at? Thanks!
