Demographics of MINI drivers

Hi,

I bought a '07 Mini for my 16 year old daughter last December; what a success! I am the best Dad around since...Now, my 13 year old daughter wants to do a science project about Mini drivers. She is looking to find out some information about sales for '05, '06 and '07 including the gender and age of the owner. She is convinced that the Mini is the ideal car for teenage girls but she wants to prove that there are a lot more 'grown up men' driving this car around. Can anyone point us in the direction of where we could find this type of info. Thanks.

Welcome to NAM!!!

There are threads on this...not sure if all the info is one, though. Try the search function and see what turns up.

MINI owners are a highly eclectic group. It is very true that a good many of us older owners hail from the days when British sports cars roamed the earth and have always loved/respected the classic Mini.

Your sampling will be slightly off since you are only polling active members of the online MINI community not all MINI owners- Make sure to include that in your findings- The teacher coming out, again... sorry.

To be more accurate, she'd need the age range of ownership. For instance, I bought my '05 new when I was 45. I'm 47 now. Male, btw.
