Now might not be a brilliant time to buy compared to a couple of months after the facelift model is out.

Unless there is a compelling reason for you to change car (like you need something smaller, bigger, or you are really unhappy with what you have, etc) then I would suggest waiting. If you really just want to get it out of your system, why not just hire a MINI for a couple of weeks and see how you get on? You might love it and decide that changing is the right thing to do, or you might just shake off the itchy feet and realise what a good car you already have ...

With summer coming, you might be better off spending the money on a really nice holiday instead

Thanks for that, spot on advice. Might just rent one as you said at some point in the future!
