I just picked up an 09 Cooper S in Pepper White a couple of days ago and so far I'm lovin' it. I've been a long time owner of a WRX STi so I can't really say I'm very impressed with the power or handling of the Mini but for some reason it's much more fun to drive. Also, I used to average about 16-17 mpg in the Subie which was no fun on the wallet. Here she is:

 

Love your car. I have a '09 S Hard top Black with Hot pink top and mirrors. I never thought I would love a small car. I've always had SUV'S.

 

Please tell me you're not a man. lol.

 

No, I'm not. It's funny you say that because 95% of Mini drivers are men. Well here in South Florida I usually don't see girls driving Mini.
