Aloha and welcome to NAM.

Which R56? MC or MCS or cabrio maybe???

The biggest early problem is figuring out all of the options especially if you are ordering one.

It's the total opposite of buying a Honda (plain vanilla or extra deluxe).

MINIs are meant to be unique- enjoy the ride.

Thanks guys, I did a search on financing, leasing and paying sticker. I got the answers I was wondering about. But after she actually buys the car I'm sure I'll be on here asking more questions.

What drove me crazy are all the configurations and what changed and what didn't change between the 06' and the 07'.

We settled on a 07' MCS hardtop auto.

I drove the 06' S and the 07' S coupe and conv, and man, what a difference! Doesn't compare to my S2000 but I love it! Drives like a gokart like you guys say.

Damn, I screwed up already by posting in the wrong forum! An 07' MCS is a second gen Mini correct? R56?

Well, I personally don't really care one way or the other where you post (but I'm not an admin either

But then again, I tested an '06 and an '07, and liked the '06 better
Welcome to NAM, enjoy the ride!
