I have owned a mini one for 3 years after only planning on having it for 2. i cant decide what car to buy now. looking to spend between 18-25k. ive test driven 2 gps, 2 coopers s ,one convertible, 2 z4's and a focus st. cant decide what i want though. ive gone of the z4's becuase i probably need more space. just looking for some suggestions. what would you buy?

A GP in my opinion.

My Uncle has got one and has kindly given me a few shots. Even to this day I love the thing and cant get over how good I think it is! It looks the muts nuts too!

However bear in mind a GP is focused on Pure adrenaline fun though! My uncle doesnt use his everyday...more for the summer months and for track days.

Stay with Minis anyway

I would definetly consider getting a GP or a normal cooper s

, there definetly the best, and with your high budget, you should be able to get a fantastic MINI.

GP or Porsche Boxter S

I'd stick with MINI and go for a loaded Works Cooper S, oh come to think of it, I did and haven't regretted it for a minute.

I can tell you which one I would choose out of those, but I'm not you so it won't be much help to you!

Can you tell us a little more about what you like and what you want in a car, other than the fact that you need more space than a Z4 offers? For instance:
Do you have a family?
What sort of driving do you like?
Do you like a bit of comfort?
Are you a performance car nut?
Is fuel consumption an issue?
Are you a bit of a poseur?
Do you have secure parking?
Are insurance costs critical?

While you're at it, were the MCS's that you were looking at new R56's, or the previous R53's?

Tigger.
