Out here in Vegas ... I probably see 10-15 with ease just on the way to work. In a day I probably see 25-30. Most are older couples, but there's a handful with some go-fast bits and very clearly enjoying an atypical "tuner" car.

A couple days ago, I saw four in one day. That's a record for me.

on any typical day (30-45 minute drive into town, 30-45 minute drive back), not counting the two in my driveway, I'll probably see 10-15 02+ mini variations. I'll probably see 1 classic mini each month...

clearly we've had a fairly active dealer network around central florida.

Live in the Tampa Bay Area of Florida, drive a maximum of 5 miles round trip per day and see at least 2 a day (always the same ones.) Sometimes if I venture out further then my usual drive I see maybe 5-6 on any given day.

Monday through Friday I can see hardly 1 or 2 MINIs on the road, but Saturday & Sunday I can see easily 6 or 8 on the road, maybe is a weekend car for a few here in GA but is my daily driver and I love it!...

Tucson only recently got a dealer, but they must have been coming from Phoenix because I see at least a dozen every day, all years and types. A couple of the go-faster ones that look tuned, mine is not but it is unique in the Mellow Yellow color with a White top.

It's surprising that I don't see more MINIs considering that there is a MINI dealer only 50 minutes from my home base... Lately, I average about 2 sightings/30 days. The good news is that I have received reciprocal waves or flash of the lights [75% of the time] from those MINIs that I have run across.

In my new home of Columbia SC, I saw 10-20 on a good day during my house hunting trip. Sometimes just a few. Lots more than from where I'm moving; Lincoln, NE. No curvy roads in the plains I guess. I've been in Lincoln for 8 years, and hardly saw a curve!

I don't see very many at all on my 26-mile-one-way commute. I think the most I've ever seen in one day was about two of them. I drive through Lake County, Illinois, too, so that surprises me. I do see one older blue one parked at a business everyday, but that's about it.

I just reached Alaska via the Alcan Hwy after departing from Oregon last Sunday. I saw a few MINIs in Portland, Seattle and Vancouver, BC. Then I saw none on the road until I reached Whitehorse, YT, where I saw 2. Then none again until reaching Alaska (in Tok now). Hope to see a few in Anchorage tomorrow

Yesterday I drive 500 miles from NC down to Alabama. I only saw 3 other MINIs the whole trip. Didn't even see the first one until I was in SC, about 2.5 to 3 hours into the drive.

I see a ton every day here in SoCal. But less than a handful of 2014/2015s thus far. I always wonder if they get the same kick out of seeing another MINI as I do. (Likely not in the sense that I think car owners who belong to car forums are a rarity).

I saw 11 today. Kept a count throughout the day out of curiosity. I saw five of them while I was on the freeway for ten minutes this morning.

In the Durham, NC area I see 2 to 3 different ones a day, but if I head into Chapel Hill I see 12.

At least 2 on my block, at least 3 in the parking lot at work, and more than I can count on my commute.... without taking my shoes & pants off, at least...

I'm in Los Angeles. I see 3-5 every morning driving up my street. To many to count. LA has a lot of mini coopers driving around. The odd thing that I have noticed is most of them are the base model. The non S. I only test drove and ordered a CMS. Maybe the non S on the smaller coopers are enough but for the Countryman the non S is a turtle or maybe more of a snail. When I test drove the non S CM I felt like Fred Flinstone and wanted to help it along with my feet.

Just as a follow-up, on my return trip from Alabama, I think I saw 6 or 7 MINIs. The nice thing was I met one out in the sticks of 'Bama and then another F56 passed me on 285 going around Atlanta and I got big waves from both of them!!! So that was nice.

Got to the mall in Durham early to meet a friend and decided to hunt for Minis in the parking lot! I counted 11 before mall security started wondering what I was doing driving up and down the lot.
