Hi everyone,

Since I'm not a MINI owner YET , I've been lurking on the forum for a while. I've been enjoying all of the info on the various threads, but I wanted to post this question...

If you could offer JUST ONE comment about owning a MINI as a "sales pitch" to someone interested in taking the plunge, what would it be? How would you "sell" the MINI to a newbie?

I look forward to your thoughts!

No pitch needed.... just go drive it and the smile on your face will be the only 'pitch' you'll need

 

Remember driving go-karts when you were a kid? Try the grown up version. Let's motor.

 

Seen all the hype about MINIs? The actual car is 10 times better.

 

"here is the key, here is the ride"

 

If you don't want to buy a MCS, don't test drive an MCS.

 

MINI - not just a car, but a lifestyle.

 

FUN!!

 

Don't consider a Mini if you don't like meeting strangers in parking lots.
You'll be more popular.

 

You won't find a car that's better at being so good at so many things than a MINI!

I just did this.

 

Which part of "FUN" are you having trouble with?

 

I have owned many sports cars, and driven many more. I used to race, so this includes many race-prepared vehicles, including open wheeled race cars and my little brother's Ferrari.

My MINI is the best handling stock vehicle I've ever driven. And my MINI doesn't have the sport suspension.

 

Driving a Mini is the most fun you can possibly have in a car with your clothes on! (the fun factor multiplies by a factor or 500 when naked!)

 

Warped,

I look forward to trying it both ways!!!!

Speed, handling, style; anthing else is just a car.

Not a "comment".......when he learned I used to do a lot of autocrossing, during the test drive my salesman kept pushing me to keep up speed around corners........that was all it took!!! (ps -- my last two cars were 911 Porsches.....the MINI is a LOT more fun)

 

Drive it! enough said

 

Yep, I was sold anyway but when my MA encouraged me to take a freeway on ramp at 60+ my decision was well and truly made.

 

What gas mileage do you get in that SUV?

 

My test drive was somewhat similar, but due to forum rules that limit discussions on matters that might enter the realm of illegality, I'm not allowed to provide a complete description of what happened after the MA said, "That just means you get to pass them." The cliff notes version reads something like "You GOTTA get this car!"

 

Test drove one for fun, ended up buying one and am turning my leased 335 back instead of purchasing it which I had planned to do..the MCS is THAT fun!

 

 

"Remember when you were a kid and rode your first rollercoaster? How each curve and dip scared the heck outta you but you still laughed and had fun just because?"

"Well, here's the track...."




"Now go ahead and laugh your heart out."
