Car before your first Mini?
What kind of car did you own just before your first Mini?
Mine was Toyota Tundra V8 4x4 Limited TRD.
That was a transfer from big to small, but there's no regret because I fell in love with MCS.

I went from a Jeep Cherokee 4x4 to a MINI. I loved the Jeep (and wish I could've kept it), but life is way better with the MINI!!

In 2000 I had an 85 Jetta before my first Mini, which was a 1988 Rover "Red Hot" edition.
In 2005 I had an 02 Suzuki Esteem before my first MINI which is a 2002 LY/B MCS.

Let's see, I had an '88 Saab 900 TC before getting my '69 Mini Cooper which I still have and my daily driver was an '88 CRX Si (225k miles) before I picked up my '03 MCS, which I absolutely love.

2004 Saab 9-3 Aero. Great car, fast, smooth. I just didn't need 4 doors and such a large trunk. Smaller payment now, better gas mileage, and more grins.
(also traded in my job that day too
