I bought a used Mini because I was in the market for a new supermini and there simply isn’t a car out there capable of beating it. I have to admit when I buy a new car I go for the cool factor but not at the expense of build or engineering quality. That’s where the Mini comes in – it really does have it all. There’s no cooler car, there’s no better car for the money in this class. I don’t know why you’d want to look any further!
Ok, so you won’t get your entire family in the back of these cars, but show me another supermini that would fit those criteria. The Mini is perfectly capable of transporting four adults and a small amount of luggage, and that’s all you should expect from a car in the supermini bracket. What the Mini may lack in practicality it sure does make up for in fun. There really isn’t a car around that comes close to being as cool or as desirable. For this reason used values are strong, but that doesn’t mean you can’t get a great deal on a used Mini.
Inside the Mini there is some really impressive styling which harks back to the days of the original car. You’ll either love or hate the big round dials but in any case you can’t say the Mini’s interior isn’t impressive. Toggle switches take you way back in time and add heaps of character to an already bold little car. My Mini has a start/stop button which improves economy over earlier versions – I can highly recommend that if you’re fuel conscious.
Buying a Used Mini is like buying your place in a club. There are online forums and magazines dedicated to these amazing cars and you’ll easily find the answers to any questions you have, along with all the guidance you need before you buy.
