I really wanted to love this car...
What a week. Last weekend I had enough of the rattles and horrid accelerator. My wife has always said she loved the mini, so we came to an agreement. She would drive the mini as her daily, and I could trade in her car ( 2002 protege 5 ) for something else. I came home with this:

2013 WRX. So far, this thing is amazing. Just amazing.
Around tuesday my wife started complaining about the mini. Same things I was unhappy with, like the little rattles and the herky jerky abysmal transmission / accelerator. Then, yesterday, the final straw. Check engine light came on AGAIN. This time I was able to bring it back to the dealer I bought it from and raised a minor ruckus. Well, at the end of the day they made my wife a decent deal on a certified 2012 Justa thats LOADED. Has all the bells and whistles, like the convenience package and the piano black interior. Most importantly, it has 6 years / 100K mile warrantly, and the car had 9K miles on it now. It's gutless compared to the S, but the WRX takes care of that.

I've got an 06 Evo, looking now for a base Mini for a DD - think it's a good reliable sporty (HS competitive) DD.
