| I've been thinking about this, as a Cooper D Clubman is very high on my "List" for replacing my current Cooper and I tried to think of the last time I parked at the side of the road rather than a Car park. You know what - I can't even think of a time in the last 3 months that I did it.
I agree that MINI do seem to be "penny-pinching" which is a very annoying trend but for my personal circumstances it probably won't make any difference to my next car choice. |
