I am a new owner,this being my first MINI.After 2 days of ownership, I must say I'm very pleased. The car handles like its on rails. I love the immediete reaction to control inputs. the steering has some feel. The UGDO works from 250 feet away, the H/K stereo sounds great, the H/D radio is surprisingly good. The Nav screen is colorful and beautiful. The headlights are bright and crisp, the seats are supremely comfortable. The paint is so deep it looks like you could dive into it. the entire car has a premium feel to it. 100 miles and only 2 ticks off of the fuel gauge. I havent even used the cell phone hookup and MINI connected yet,I'll report back when I do.

Have a great day,everyone,I cant wait to motor to work!!!

Congrats! I felt the same way when I got mine in March '12. I purchased it used...it's an '09 PW MCS 6spd. It is, by far, the best car that I've ever owned...and I've owned many.

Enjoy your new ride and happy motoring!

 

Congratulations and post some pictures!

 

Welcome!!! Can't wait to see some photos.
