Summary
What does this car say about you?
Sporty, likes fast cars.
What do your friends / family / neighbours think of the car?
They thought it was a girls car at first but once they get in it they see how much power it has.
Would you buy this car again and why?
Definitely, love all the optional extras you have on the MIni's and the owners clubs are a great help if anything ever goes wrong. Mini's are so much fun. Only downsides are the running costs - Tax at £248 a year, tyres are around £150 a corner and it drinks fuel like a fish drinks water!
What are you likely to buy next?
VW Scirocco or a newer Mini Cooper S.
