Used Mini Cooper S - My New Car

I have been looking for a new car for ages now, however I had long list of rules which I had to abide by before I could allow myself to buy.

1/ The car had to be resonably priced

2/ It had to be energy efficient

3/ It had to be fast

4/ It had to have at least 4 seats

5/ It had to look cool

I looked at quite a few cars and in the finish narrowed down to two.

The first was the Smart Car, it has funky styling and will seat 4, however I have read some less than favourable reviews about rear seat passenger comfort. It will easily acheive 500+ miles on a full tank, and is extremely easy to park. The only thing I really worried about is the acceleration or lack of it.

My second choice and the car I eventually bought is the Mini Cooper S. I think in the back of my mind I have always wanted one, so really the choice was not difficult. In my defence I would say that after driving one that the drive is amazing, and it feels extremely solid and safe on the road, even at speed. the interior oozes quality and the stereo system is the best I have heard in a small car.

The clincher was that the used mini cooper s tlc servicing voucher was also transfered to me with the car

All in all I feel that I have acheived my goals and ended up with a great car
