Well I was looking at getting another mini as we needed a swcond car. Due to child on the way and I still miss my Mini however when I looked and remembered how small the boot was there was no way of convincing my significant other it would be practical. So accross the road we went and bought the 1 Series
However it is surprisingly fun to drive with the same rock hard suspension which I loved about the mini and the turn in is superb. But its not a mini and cost the same as a cooper s.
