Just wondering, what made the driving instructors amongst you pick the MOD for teaching in?
It seems to be a popular choice and I was just wondering if it was for any particular reason (other than its the best small car on the market!).

It's given me some food for thought because I keep on seeing job adverts looking for new instructors..... and i've already got the car

Hi,
Mine was a simple choice really, I"d just bought the breadknife a new mini one at the same time that I was looking for a new job ( saw the same advert).
I thought I like driving this car so much I"m sure the young uns will as well. So I decided to use the car after qualifying and consider I made the right choice. The car has attracted the customers in the first place, they love it.
Reasonable mpg (petrol) for its use, this week got 37 mpg.
Changing to a D at the end of the month.
Good handling, smooth ride, well laid out controls, pity BMW dont support a driving school scheme like other manufacturers ie Renault £1000 cash back to ADI"s.

Fact !
Most peoplewho learn to drive choose a car similar to thrt thet they were taught in. So loads of privateer driving schools are trying to get MINI's (any MINI'S mind you) as learner cars, why ? well handling , performance, manners, etc etc. unfortunately the factory can't make enough to supply BSM, AA etc, but the privateers are doing fine!.most passing pupils sign up an buy...guess what..................................you already know thhe answer.

Although I live and run a driving school in Oxford I would have used a mini anyway . The one and the D are very similar cars for tuition. The D gains on fuel ( 50+ MPG ) , the turbo gives good exceleration , has traction control as standard , and is good for the manoeuvers and finally the pupils love it .I have a few pupils who work at BMW so I get to see things that perhaps I should not see , so that is why I dont post messages to confirm or deny rumours.

Regards colin.
