Hey all
I should be picking up my 2019 Mini Thursday or Friday.
I sold my Yellow 2007 3 1/2 years ago & have missed it ever since.
Looking forward to getting back behind the wheel of something fun.
Its the Steptronic automatic
I was going back & forth for two weeks before I ordered it. My last mini had the 6 speed manual and I LOVED it but.... this is the car I will often take in & out of Chicago in traffic and doing that with a manual was kind of a pain with my last mini.
So I test drove the Steptronic and liked the manual shift option.
It's a compromise.... I'm sure some days I will regret not getting the manual but others I will be glad.
And..... this morning the Mini website says it's at my dealer (but its the 4th of July so they are closed!)
What a great day (although I could do without our current thunderstorms.
I ordered the LED headlights almost just to get the new taillights.... the mini logo projected on the ground when you unlock the doors was a surprise.
Really happy with my choice of Starlight Blue with the white roof.
Can't wait to start putting some miles on it.
