My 18 year old Jeep is about to be traded for a Mini. Always wanted one but don't know enough about them to figure out what year model to buy or what to stay away from. I'll go new or used, just want to find one that suits my tastes. Not into racing, but want enough power to make driving fun. Someone who has owned many Mini's is who I need to talk with.

 

Welcome to the club. I'm on my first Mini so I will not advise you other than to keep in mind the amazing warranties these things come with when bought new or very low mileage 1 year old. I got my 2011 with just over 10,000 miles on it.
