Hello from Ohio

Hello,

Do not have a Mini now but looking to learn more about them as I an considering getting one for myself. Normally I have owned and driven 4x4 or AWD (Subaru) but I think I am looking for a smaller fun car for myself.

In the past I had owned a number of eclectic cars - Renaults, MGs and Austins. Not looking for the quirky "bad habits" of the earlier "English" cars but something more civilized and refined.

Heard some good and bad about the Mini so I thought I would check it out some before I buy.

If you want a car that is fast and drives like a go kart, has comfortable seating, sticks to the road like it is glued and most of all looks great! Get one soon!
Joint in the joy of ownership and fun!

Hi Ascham,
I forgot to tell you: If your a person that is not comfortable with attention, then this is not the car for you!
Almost all the time, when stopped, people will comment on my Minis. No matter where I go with them!
Welcome aboard!
