Ummm a MINI brought my ins rates DOWN by like 50% dramatically lower theft rate, comp. doesn't care if its an S or not so so not anything more in terms of power and safer and less likely to be in an accident.
And you'd be suprised how many of us younger ones pay for our own MINI.
So it can fit that demographic, harder to reach at 16 but still attainable

with that said....It is probably a good car for a teen girl because a MINI is quite difficult to have sex in. Though there is a guide for that around someplace.....
Not as hard as you may think and unlike you my friend I don't need a manual!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


And cause I'm just as interested as the the OP to see how diverse this group really is (cause we are a very mixed bunch)

there was a thread like this about a year ago it the off topic forums asking how many male/female mini drivers. if you do a search Im sure it will pop up I believe there was a good amount of people that did it

She is convinced that the Mini is the ideal car for teenage girls but she wants to prove that there are a lot more 'grown up men' driving this car around. Can anyone point us in the direction of where we could find this type of info. Thanks.

Make sure you tell your daughter to talk about the possible data skew arising out of using a 'self-selecting' sample.
