New 07MCS Owner....

Ok here it goes.......Picked up my 07 MCS last Thursday(3/3/07)..... The entire buying experience through Mini was the most pleasant purchase I have had in 30 years of car buying. I was on the fence (Mini vs Mazdaspeed 3 vs Miata)when I joined this group, but the information here is priceless. I just LOVE driving again!!(this coming from someone who drives 50,000 miles a year) This was the first car I ever bought without driving or at least sitting in it. Drove previous year Mini's, however I wasn't quite in the financial shape to order one last year, so I chose to wait for the 07. It now has 600 miles, the gas mileage is outstanding(should almost cut my gas expense in half), the sport button is a great thing(gives the car a split personality, fast and REAL fast)I have no complaint with wind noise from the sun roof or the HiFi audio. I probably will get the I Pod interface($600 installed), and would love some gauges, but I think I'll just out for a drive.........................

Congrats. I know what you mean about the fun driving experience.
I noticed that even on short errands it takes me twice as long to do. That is because I just keep looking for the long way around to get there and to get back home.
I went out in my 07 MINI S to return a video Saturday (only a 10 minute drive when I did in my Accord) and didn't get back home until 5 hours later and I don't know how many miles later. Sunday I went to a movie theater 1.5 hours away instead of the multiplex 10 minutes away.
That is how I define a fun car!!!!
