Former GTI enthusiast turned to MINI
New to the forums, just wanted to introduce myself and get that first post out of the way. I've actually been wanting to have a MINI since high school, almost a decade ago, but I've been shopping for GTI's for the past year. Yeah, I'm that picky. Anyways, since I'm buying used, gently used, its been a real struggle to find a GTI that hasn't been driven like a rocket ship. Add in VW's unstable reliability and I've been turned away from purchasing a used GTI. So now I'm looking for a MINI Cooper S, 2008 or newer.
My current struggle is dealing with the fact that almost every MINI is different, tailored to the original buyer, so finding one that I like has been difficult. I'm two months into my search and I figured reading a MINI Cooper forum would help me out a lot, so here I am.
Currently I own an 01 Mazda 626 which more dents than cylinders.
