If so, how is that working out for you?

 

yep. Works great for me. Just one person living alone. Fun to drive. Easy to park.

 

It's my DD and my only car. Works very nicely for me as well.

 

Mine hasn't arrived yet but it'll be my only car and my daily driver. My wife's car is a regular (justa) Cooper so we'll be an all MINI Family. No kids, just dachshunds, and it's rarely more than just the two of us in the car.

We usually take her MINI on trips but my Coupe will officially be the new family car.

 

Yeah its all I have, we're getting along just fine.

 

When it's delivered, it will be my daily driver, but not my only car.

 

my coupe is the DD.other car 2012 lexus 200ct.driven by the lady of the house.

 

Yep. My only car.

 

I have a 1992 Toyota Supra twin turbo in the garage, but that car is not 100% roadworthy. Close, but not quite. It's more of a weekend toy. Coupé is my DD. Then again, single, no kids, just me & a dog.

Coming up on 6 months with my Coupé, and it hasn't disappointed yet. But I know there will be times- If I ever need to haul home anything larger than a microwave, the Supra will have to play "pickup truck" unless I decide to rent a Home Despot truck for an hour.

 

My only car. Working out as fine as it's been with any other only-car I've owned.

 

Mine is my daily driver, but I have a 2004 JCW Cooper aging gracefully in the garage as a backup.

 

might as well be my son has my 2006 GTO at college

 

Wife drives an 09 MCS and I have a 09 GTO. The GTO has back seats that are comfortable once you get in. Our kids are grown so that is not much of a problem. But I do need a small pickup. Ever tried to pick up a 10 foot christmas tree in a Mini? It's not a lot of fun. With a big yard and all the trappings that come with home ownership I do find myself struggling at times. I just don't want to spend the dough. I will eventually have to break down and get one I think. I have a lot of summer projects lined up and will eventually make a purchase.

 

She's my only vehicle as well, and she's been an awesome ride so far! I will, however, need to purchase winter wheels and tires - a sudden 8" snowstorm last week proved to me how useless the summer tires are, and how much I miss not having winter radials!

 

My wife has 2012 Coupe and I have a 2012 clubman. We had a mustang and a Honda Ridgeline. We made some adjustments, and we are very happy.

 

Daily driver 7000 miles. Fun to drive able to shave time from my commute.

 

It is for now. I have become a home owner in the last 2 months of Coupe ownership. Runs to home improvement stores and such have made in necessary to haul large items home. The coupe will not do this.

Additionally, I have promised to limit my travel on gravel. With a 92 year old grandmother who lives off the pavement a half mile.

Hauling mulch and yard debris in the back of the coupe would not be that fun either. Otherwise the Coupe works for everything and is currently still my DD. I should mention that I do not drive my coupe to work. I have a work vehicle Ram 3500 HD box truck that is driven from home to work site everyday. That limits the miles on the coupe to just pleasure miles.

 

It is my daily driver. I love it. Wife has a 2011 Countryman. We have a 1991 Ford Ranger as a truck to haul big stuff from THD or to the dump.

Its a perfect set up. Mine for fun. Hers for nights out with friends, Truck for hauling. Who could ask for anything more?

 

Mine is my only car- but since we're newlyweds planning on having kids in the next few years, I decided to lease instead of buy. (had my '03 MCS for almost 10 years before this.) Husband has an Outback, so we have space when we need it. Imagine I'll need a car that can hold a carseat in a few years. But for now it's my only car and I love it!

 

Pretty much in the same boat....except it's an R50

 

Mine is an R50, it just has a JCW Tuning Kit installed.

 

Mine is my daily driver. My wife has a civic Every one n awhile we switch cars if I need to take more than just my daughter someplace. But no problems as a daily driver year round so far.

 

no
my wife's R53 MCS carries our dogs in the backseat, which I cannot do...lol

she is seriously considering replacing hers within the year though...I know she will likely stay with an R56 or a pre-owned R53

in the meantime, I will make my coupe DD until the PA snows arrive

pac

 

I only have one car as well so once I sell my cooper and get the coupe. That will be my DD, my travel car and my track car.

 

Yep. I Don't know if I will ever actually be able to get rid of a MINI. My 2012 Roadster is now my daily driver. My 2006 R53 is my backup and track rat. I took the back seats out of it years ago, so I knew I could live with only seating for 2. My Classic is ironically my only Mini with seating for 4.

My wife drives an SUV, so that ends up being the vehicle of choice for Home Depot runs.
