Default regrets iīve had a few!

ok iīll be honest I nearly swapped my 04sti for a 04mini jcw over the weekend, but when i saw the two cars sitting there together i just couldnīt do it, I just couldnīt. I reckon I would have regretted it too much it looked like a little wind up toy compared to blue thunder! What you think

Have any of you driven one? They're great little driving cars. Only reason I wouldn't have one is because the boot is non existant and I couldn't get the kids buggy in it.

Certainly the new minis.

But you can see them appealing to A level/student mummmy's boy types as well.

The classic mini was more 'gender neutral' though.

Frayz has knocked it on the head for me.

I am in the process of looking at Mini JCW myself.
Very well made cars and modern too over my current 2002 STi. I'm not 100% sure yet what I am going to do but in a couple of weekends time I will know.
