New MCC

I just picked up my MCC last week, and I love it. I also have a Saturn Vue, and I really don't want to drive the Vue anymore. Bad timing since in New Jersey, we will be getting snow soon. Since I am new to the Mini Cooper world, I was wondering if anybody else has any comments on the MCC, either good or bad.

Welcome to NAM. :smile:

I have an 02 Cooper S, but recently had some time logged in an 05 MCc. I have to say I was very impressed with both the convertible and the strides that MINI has made in the 2-3 model years since I purchased my 02. I'm sure you'll enjoy your new MINI very much.

^^^Short for cabriolet. "A convertible coupe" according to Webster.

DiD, Thanks, I was so disappointed, I just got it from the show room and I was supposed to visit a friend and they said that they were sick (in know I'm cruel), because I just wanted to take the car on a long trip. The car is just soooo greeeeat !!!!!!!!!!!! I just can't believe how the car HUGS the road . Does any body have any feed back on how it does in the snow ????

The MINI will do pretty well in the snow if you get all season tires or snows. If you're running around on the performance tires, don't expect much.

(I grew up in Denver and lived there for a year with my MINI, don't let the Los Angeles address fool you).

Did, so I'm assuming the stock tires don't do well in the snow ??? I have 16 inch run flats.

Welcome! The Mini truly drives and handles like no other car anywhere near it's price class. Here is a sneak peak at the 2007 Mini...Larger interior, grill, twin headlamps, slightly recessed wipers, etc. Can't wait!
