I'm a new member. Just recently purchased a 2005 mini vert for my daughter. Hope to learn all about these cars.

 

Welcome to NAM, if you are looking for a plethora of knowledge and information about MINIs then you have found the right place.

 

Thanks alot. Daughter is pumped. Bought it from my sister still have to get minnesota and drive it back home. Its a manual. Are these cars pretty easy to learn to drive a stick with?

 

I learned how to drive stick on it, actually. I had experience with shifting on a four-wheeler so I understood the concept so I just had to get the "feel" of shifting for a car..but it is a great car to learn on. Very easy to get into gear because of the power to weight ratio.

 

Yea I know how to but have to teach the daughter. Thanks for the info.

 

No problem, glad to help. I as well have an '05 but the S model so if you have any questions about that year in the future I am more than happy to help.

Good luck and most importantly, happy motoring!
