Two Things So Far

First just let me say we love our Mini.

But since we took her off the blocks and started driving again, we are up to 350 miles now

There are two things that I do not like..

First, the turn signal is to short....this we will get used to over time.....but man is it short....another inch would be great.

Second, the digital displays are not compatible with polarized sunglasses. And my prescription sunglasses and regular sunglasses are.

I would have though BMW/Mini would have thought of that. My little Garman GPS is compatable.

Ok, I just wanted to throw that out there.....I am better now.

Trust me, you'll get use to the turn signal. If you have to, just tape a popsicle stick to the end! Haha!

I think you will find yourself adjusting to lots of little MINI peculiarities.
