But yeah. Autos are good but Mini + = special

While I agree, the Mini + good auto is too.

The mini auto seems to be geared super short so it’s like
If the gearing is better on the auto then it's probably worth it. I'm finding that to be the case on a lot of cars recently.max225 wrote:The mini auto seems to be geared super short so it’s like
Brap brap brap in sport mode... it felt like it almost added to the experience. I am not going to make this be the deciding factor for sure. At this point I just want condition/price/maintenance history and color/option combo
Cooper S, JCW. It literally felt like gears 1-3 only ... looks like I wasn't the other gears felt pretty closely spaced and pointless. 4th is sub 1:1troyguitar wrote: ↑Tue Aug 13, 2019 4:17 pmIf the gearing is better on the auto then it's probably worth it.

For the money... it is nearly impossible to beat....
They both are IMO

I regret not owning a MINI at some point.

I see the light... especially in the F gen.
Most are...I'd argue that JL/T has a lot of character and it's a big part of why people buy them...but it's a different sort of character from a MINI.[user not found] wrote: ↑Tue Aug 13, 2019 4:50 pmThey're just fun. Period.max225 wrote: ↑Tue Aug 13, 2019 4:48 pm

You have the reliability... they are sub 30k.... they are unique... like, almost no two are alike.
They are supremely spacious for the size. And the steering is about as good as it's going to get, and with noise makers they are interesting sounding as well as opposed to most other 4 bangers.
I miss cars that are fun. New cars are just so... clinical and devoid of character.

Wasn't that the goal for MINI ? To be low pressure and cool AF?max225 wrote: ↑Tue Aug 13, 2019 4:52 pmEvery single Mini around me seems to be low pressure and staffed with car dudes.... legit ownershit experience if is your thing.[user not found] wrote: ↑Tue Aug 13, 2019 4:50 pm

hence the cross shopping on my end... but the JL is double what a mini costs... with similar levels of equipment. And DD wise a Mini just makes a bit more sense in my case... I can totally see it being 90% of the M3 fun, at 40% of the price. Just can't beat that...Detroit wrote: ↑Tue Aug 13, 2019 4:51 pmMost are...I'd argue that JL/T has a lot of character and it's a big part of why people buy them...but it's a different sort of character from a MINI.[user not found] wrote: ↑Tue Aug 13, 2019 4:50 pm

Yea...I'd make the same call if I was in your position. I honestly think the MINI is absolutely perfect, especially with how JCWs have depreciated.max225 wrote: ↑Tue Aug 13, 2019 4:54 pmhence the cross shopping on my end... but the JL is double what a mini costs... with similar levels of equipment.

In photos the red/black interior looks way cooler, but I feel like I'd get tired of how bright the red is so I don't think this looks bad at all.max225 wrote: ↑Tue Aug 13, 2019 5:07 pm https://www.cargurus.com/Cars/inventory ... =248081997
Another black mini this time at a mini dealer... but its triple black... also 3k cheaper than reno (same options + leather though)... granted slightly higher miles... I really don't know why those guys don't come down a bit, I think my 24k offer is spot on.
The builds are super clean/modern and cool... sales staff is good. I was legit :impressed: every time i swung by. BMW must have on CAPEX. Right before sales hit the shit... real shame... finally cars true to their initial concept... and no one wants em... because... 2 door clown car for 25-45k... WHERE DO I PUTZ MY 9 KIDZ 3 DOGS AND MULCH? AND DOES IT TOW and OFFROAD?
