I am currently saving to put 10K down on a fully loaded 07 S.

Most likely Dark Silver with a Black Roof. Leather Punch. DSC. leather sport steering. 15" star spooled wheels. comfort access. visibility pack. sunroof. tinted rear windows. heated seats. anthracite headlining. Interior Lights Pack. Blue LED interior lighting MOD. park distance control. Fog Lights. Climate Control. HIFI audio system. Ipod Input.

Cant wait!!!

 

Welcome, and I hope that savings account is growing quickly - the wait gets more difficult as time goes by. Remember to get your order in a couple of months before you'll reach your goal so you don't have to wait any longer tan you have to. And believe me, it'll be worth the wait!

 

Welcome, stranger!! Your effort (and your wait) will be worth it!!!

 

thank you guys! I cant wait. Did either of you talk to your dealer much before ordering? I really hope I wont have too much markup. This may be strange but are either of you tall? im 6'4"

 

familiarstranger...I'm 6'1" and have more room in my Mini than I do in my full size Silverado...strange, but true....

 

My husband is 6'3" and fits just fine. In fact he has plenty of leg room and we have a manual. He does have to make sure the seat is in the lower position because his head brushes the roof due to the sun roof. In the mini's without a sunroof there was no problem at all (I think it takes about an inch away from interior height?)

My nephew is 6'6" and loves driving my mini. He has no problems either, leg length or height. His torso must be shorter than my husbands? Anyway, height seems to be no problem.

 

While I own a MINI at present, I will probably go for an '08 Cooper. And yes, I talk to the MAs at the dealer all...the...time. I nearly pulled the trigger on a trade-in two years ago, but then EB was yanked from the color palette for U.S. Coopers so I gladly kept mine. Yes, I've been talking to the same MA ever since. The price may creep up by '08, true, but I just don't care...I ain't motoring in anything less than a MINI!!!

 

pottermom-
Thanks for all the height info. That is very encouraging. Do you think the sunroof is worth both the loss of interior head room and the cost? I have one on my current car and enjoy it. Cali is HOT!

 

There are plenty of naysayers, but I say...

...the sunroof is awesome

 

Actually yes. My husband loves it. I just have to remember to lower the seat if I've raised it and I know he's going to drive the car next. Even with the seat in high it isn't bad, his hair just brushes it.. but like I said, he must have a long torso because my nephew has no problems... he's all leg. I think if you spend some time sitting in one, test drive with the sunroof a couple of times or just mess with it in the lot you'll know for sure if it will work. I don't think you'll have any problem myself but always best to check it out.

 

Thanks I will. although I cant say that I will be as generous as you and let other people drive. haha.

 

Sounds like its going to be an awesome car!

 

thanks i hope so. I have always wanted a mini and hope it will last me. The car I have now has been running 14 years. Lets say I can say something like that for my mini
