I'm thinking of buying a mini

We'll, I love my 335 and I hate driving it in the rain and all the shitty weather so............... I'm thinking of buying a MINI

Just a cheap one, around 22,000 or so. What you guys think of the mini's? Hard ot maintain? expensive to maintain? Reliable or not? I need prior mini owners to help a brotha out

Most fun in driving (besides an E92, that is )...I drove one of the original ones back in the early 70's. It was a blast.

I just want a daily driver that gets good gas mileage. Of course I'd be getting some wheels for it

They r great little car's as long as you can live with the size (does not bother me but it does for some people). I also agree they would be much better if they were rear wheel drive but they r still a good buy. My friend had the S and he never seemed to have any problems with it. He even used it all winter with snow tires no problem.

Hit it and quit it baby, thats the way a man should live his life. I got you on tires, I'm waiting for you to pull the trigger.

What about a Jetta TDI? those things get great gas mileage and are reliable right?
