Do you prefer driving your MINI during the day or the night?
I've always loved driving at night. Cars just seem to run smoother at night. And my MINI is no different! And there's just something about the glow of that dash board...and neon light's bouncing off a freshly waxed surface as you sail through the city. Guess I've always been a nightowl and the MINI fits like a glove when I travel in the dark...

I prefer the day.........but I'll take either!! I like day because my old eyes don't care for night as much as they used to......but having said that, I really enjoy the R56 mood lighting and I so motor at night whenever I can. It's hard to do with daylight savings, so I now have something to look forward to when the days get shorter.

What he said.
I've got a loaner at the present (they're installing the "secret compartment" in my '07), and we got a most unpleasant surprise the other night. We found that the loaner had no panel lights, no bright "detent," and headlights aimed dangerously low. I had to drive home manually holding the brights on, and hoping for the best. You'd better believe I'll complain when I get Zippeee! back!

Damn, Lynn you beat me to it.
Actually with the heat of the sun in the southeast this time of year and Hopkirk having the big sunroof, the evening is a bit more comfortable. I have always enjoyed driving at night as well-I think it allows me better focus and less eye strain-I hope I never loose my night vision.

Well, when you put it like that, yeah, nighttime is fun. But as I get older (ok, I'm not THAT old!) I like night driving less, just because all of the headlights in the darkness are a strain on the eyes.

I know they are self adjusting but there might be some further adjustment needed if your cut-off line is too low. According to the new book "MINI- 50 YEARS" the headlight change was spured by the old design of having the lights attached to the bonnet resulting in too much headlight adjustment.
