Just do it - you know you want one!!! I was insistent I wouldn't get a mini when they first came out, now I have an MC and am changing it for an MCS which I have on order for March!
Get a Mini? Talk me out of it! :)
I don't when it happened exactly, but I've got the Mini bug. Right now I'm driving a Toyota Matrix XRS and its a great car, but its a lease that's over in about 6 months and my eyes have started wandering. I was considering buying the car instead of walking away, but now I'm not so sure. Logic and Reason tell me I'm not even allowed to go to the dealership and look at the Cooper S, let alone take one for a test drive. And to make matters worse, the BMW sales demons are only a 5 minute drive from my house!
The Matrix is a peppy 6-speed with tons of room for kids (none yet), groceries, and the occasional trip to Home Depot. It has just about all the available options and costs almost as much as a "base" Cooper S.
If I did make the switch, I'd be losing all that space and a couple of horsies, but I'd gain a ton of torque, British style, and what I'd imagine is a really "fun to drive" car.
I realize that I'm not talking to an objective crowd, but what else am I missing in my gains and losses columns? I've been lurking in these forums and building Minis on the website compulsively, so would one of you be so kind as to put me out of my misery?
Thanks,

I've got a Martix XR and it's gone as soon as I pick up my Mini vert in March. It's a good car, but I think the Mini is a GREAT car

The Toyota is an economy car peepied up to look sporty and sound sporty. The MINI is a performance car. It's extremely fun to drive and will put a smile onyour face everytime you drive it. Also, you will have people stopping you as you get in/out of your car and telling you what a cute/cool car you have. You get a lot of friendly attention in a MINI, something I'm sure the Matrix does not provide. You'll be surprised as to how much a MINI can carry, though not as much as the Matrix, it'll work for all but the biggest of things. Get the MINI, you won't regret it. And remember, it's more than a car, it's a personality!
My original post was obviously a cry for help. Thanks for answering my cry. I'll go for a test drive next week. That's all... just a test drive...
