newby, interested in mini
 

Whats up, Name is Shannon. male/ just turned 18 (jan 6)
currently I am driving a 1987 mercury Cougar ls V8 5.0 302 with original 43,XXX miles.
my dad is currently over seas for the USAF. I am thinking about getting a newer car. hopefully soon when i pay the rest of the cougar off I may be able to get one after i sell it.
I have been interested in the following>
03- nissan 350z, 04 mazda RX8 or mazda3 hatchback, and the mini.

I am a member of Tunerfriends.com and one of the moderators is a mini owner. Hes told me some info but i am looking for more info and personal pros and cons.

I've always liked the mini cooper but Think I am starting to like it a little more.
im looking for more info or advice on the mini in case i decide to try and get one. if i do decide to try to get one i will most likely try to get a 2002-2004 mini cooper S edition.

thanks to all for any info or advice.

Shannon.

Welcome ... What kind of info are you looking for ???

as far as info goes. Honestly im looking for anything. that may be of importance or general info.

such as Facts about the mini, specs. pros and cons. and personal owners pros and cons and anything anyone might want to throw in pertaining to the mini. personal favs and what not.

I wanted a 350z but was thinking (what if i need to carry more than 1 person or if i need the extra room?) which is why i shifted towards the RX8, mazda 3 hatch and the mini cooper.

i've always liked the mini cooper but not as much as im starting to. so im looking for info to finally decide if i want to try and get one or not.
