I'm in the SF Bay Area and commute (in my mini) down to South Bay and I see a plethora of minis every single day (almost equal to the amount of Teslas I see here). I do see men driving some (usually they're JCWs) but there definitely is a lot of female drivers. Hasn't bothered me one bit. I'm sure I do look a little silly being a 6'2" big dude with a shaved head and full beard driving a little mini but I enjoy hatchbacks in general.

 

I’m on my 4th Mini.........not one car have I owned that is as much fun as this brand. Practical, quick, economical, and well built. What’s not to like?
