I just picked up my mini yeaterday and all i have to say is WooHoo...i love it...in one day i drove it in almost all weather conditions they can throw at me in my area and the mini reacted like there was nothing in its way...when i picked the mini up it iwas sunny and warm...on my way home it started to rain...then that night it was snowing and freezing roads and i felt safer than when im in my subaru...all i have to say is that mini/bmw did a great job with the car....
