My wife was looking for a fun four seater convertible and finally decided on the Mini Cooper S. This one is prettly well loaded with sport, premium, comfort, and cold weather packages, bonnet stripes, hi fi sound system, backup assist, and probably some other things I'm forgetting. Here are some pics of the family sports cars.

 

More pics.

 

Those things are cool to watch on the track.

Nice cars... you must not have a big family or you might have a bigger car somewhere. You know well all of those cars are limited for anything over 4(family size).

I love that Mini, it is awesome. Did you see the gains on the exhaust from Millteck? ridiculous...
Take care!

So you get a $60k car (being conservative) and she gets a $25k car?

Good job

 

cool little car. always thought it was funny you can get rear parking sensors on a car that small

 

Carlos,
The SUV is in the background on picture number four. I'll have to look into that exhaust.
Thanks

She got the house she wanted.

 

I'm glad it does since she has backed into four different cars with the Pilot.

 

What's with women and Mini's?

 

wow backup assist on a Mini, now i think i've seen it all. correction, when i see a smart car with backup assist then i'll see it all. nice cars btw

 

After driving it a couple of times, I must say that it is a fun car. The responsiveness in any direction is very good. I have to be careful because a small adjustment in steering brings instant direction change. I would love to take this through a cone course.

 

Yeah, there's a reason why Minis do so damn well in the HS and GS classes.

 

A brand new Mini Cooper S convertible with all the features he listed builds for about $35K+. Which is about as much as an Evo.

I wonder if they bought it used or new?

BTW, the Mini I want builds for about 50K.
