Ok
So I am definitely going to change my DD. I did a quick search on this car to find that the previous topics were irrelevant to me. Why? Because I am thnking of getting a 2008 version (turbo'd vs SC'd previous ones).
My criteria for this move includes the following:
1. need to be able to put a bike rack on it without making the car too ugly
2. definitely want better mpg than my current DD that gets 11mpg
3. fun to drive
I know I talked about switching to an FJ Cruiser before but wasn't that impressed with it.
Does anyone have any experience with the 07+ MCS?
I searched the Mini forums before coming over here to see but there wasn't too much going on over there and most of the owners were the SC'd version guys.
I just don't want to get this car and then end up dumping it in 5 months.
My biggest fear is that this car is just too feminine (normally I don't care what people think of my cars since I've owned many cars that the masses didn't like but I don't want this to be like a purchase of a scooter...and we all know how that line goes about riding a scooter).
Opinions welcome
