So,
She wants a small FWD grocery getter that's good on gas, fun to drive, impervious to weather (heated seats).... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/idea.gif) I won't let her get Japanese (been there done that) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/barf.gif) What do you think? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/confused24.gif) |

Anything diesel is out...my wife's commute is so short the car hardly warms up....in a diesel that spells soot that plugs up the engine.
I wouldn't touch a SAAB, but I liked the V40T5 Volvo very much...my wife didn't. It's not that Jap cars aren't good...they are, they just seem...well,...um...cheap. My last car (for work) was a loaded Accord...okay, but not a thriller. I raced civics and golfs, (and we also had street civics and golfs) but again in the low end of the model range these cars lack ammenities the Mini has. The Audi's are nice ,but again seem to need alot of maintainance. The car only has to take my wife to work, and have room for two kids as well as get decent gas mileage (as compared to my E30 325 iX touring....very piggish with the fuel). The Mini Cooper S has enough room and the bonus of being fun to drive plus they seem to have good resale....BTW it's a 2003 MCS with 60,000kms for about $ 16,000 that we are considering. Thanks for your thoughts... |
