Hello all,
I'm new to the forum and not yet a Mini owner. I’m looking hard and bouncing back and forth between a new Mini or a used Mini, I’m leaning more and more toward new. I’m interested in your thoughts about which to buy.

I’m interested in a convertible. I’m getting the car for fun. I currently ride a 2008 Goldwing motorcycle for fun but thought it would be nice to have a convertible for the slightly colder weather.

If I buy new, should I wait until the 2009s come out?

In addition, if you had it to do all over again, what options would you get on your new Mini?

Thank you.
Thirsty

 

One more thing, how does the convertible do if parked outside in the snow? Can the soft top handle the weight of a 6 inch snow fall?
