Just as the title says, i would like to know if after the first MINI purchase and years of ownership would you go ahead and buy another?

yes, no, why?

 

why do i get the feeling i know what the answers are going to be???

 

Ummm....well....YEAH! Of Course! If I could have a second MINI now I would...but it will have to wait. Getting married this year and moving across country so the MINI will have to wait until we are in warmer weather..then look out! I would like to have a convert. MINI for my wife to be to drive on sunny days but she doesnt know that yet so dont tell!

 

Definitely, it's going to be: Mini Cooper Convertable, Pepper White / Black, JCW sounds kit, premium, sports, JCW suspension and brake and aero kit.

 

We already have an MC and an MCS, but I'd like a cabrio and a clubman, and to maybe trade the wife's MC in on an R56 MCS (she'd NEVER let me). It's just gonna take a couple of years and some serious garage rearranging

 

for me, no. im happy with the one i have.

 

I am on my 3rd... and goin for a Clubman next year.

 

You bet! I have purchased 3 MINIs so far. Bought an '05 MC in July of 2005. Then in May of '06 bought my wife a Pepper White 06 MCS. And in August of 06 I traded in my '05 and bought an 06 MCS. I just love these cars. An after 5 weekends straight of snow, I love it even more.

 

Yes, of course. Except with a proper manual transmission.

 

When my current one lived a full and rich life, yes. But I wouldn't want to cut its life short for no reason.

 

I will buy one for myself when my current Cooper get up there in age, and has given all it has to give. When I get married I am gonna try and talk wife into letting me buy an MCS, but that is far into the future

 

I already did - one for my wife and then one for me! I'm interested in the Clubman in a couple of years. The only thing that turns me off about the R56 is the lack of a Chrono package.

 

Good move.

 

Man, I don't know....that WRX is pretty sweet

 

Yes
Fast
Small
Fun

 

We're on MINI's number three and four.....because they are so much fun!

 

I just sold my '02 Chili Red/White Cooper S and I am eagerly waiting on my '07 Pepper White/Black Cooper S. It is "en route".

 

We started out with our CR/B MCC....within 4 months we adopted a MCS (this helped solved the argument on whose turn it was to drive our first MINI).

After totalling my MCS, my wife and I didn't hesitate to get another one after experiencing first hand how safe the MINI is and what a great job it does in protecting its occupants.

We're hoping to trade in our MCC and get the Clubman in 2008 (for family practical reasons).

 

We are on our 3rd one, so the answer is?????????????????

 

Yep, either an R56 or I'll wait to see how the Clubman pans out JCW-wise. I think it would be great to have a stealth speed wagon

 

I loved my '03 MCS, which was on lease. I purchased my '06 MCS JCW because of the numerous improvements/refinements/options available on the '06.

Not too sure about the R56, though... I'll probably still have the '06 when Gen 3 MCS' come out in 3-5 years so that's a moot point. Who knows, maybe there will be some really cool fuel cell or hybrid sports cars by then (Toyota FT-HS).

I really love my MINI, but I'd really love to say good bye to OPEC!

 

Ditto.
However, in the US, I think any wagon, except for that Magnum thingy, is stealth. IF additonal cost were not an issue, I'd go for the Audi S4 speed wagon.

 

Yes. I figure I'll be ready in 2009, and hopefully they'll have whatever bugs are inevitable in the new model worked out. I might consider the S this time...we'll see!

 

Even if I won mega millions. The MINI is my dream car.

Of course, with that kind of dough, it would be JCW :D :D

But yes, there is no other car I can imagine owning, and the MINI is the first car I've owned that I have actually been IN LOVE with...

 

Already planned for the R56 JCW when it's released
