[Chenqien]

can someone pls tell me why someone would buy mini...advantages... disadvantages??? i do not know how to appreciate the make....

[Porker]

For that cute classic look?

 

For that big interior space (kinda)?

 

For that option to spec it with different color combinations?

 

For the fact that is owned by BMW?

 

For the fact that its a pretty zippy car?

[Impala]

all because of Mr.Bean

Then you'll also need to ask a lot of questions on other model too.

.... i do not know how to appreciate the make....

You should look somewhere. I feel that getting a mini is cos you have a strong desire for it's cult image. It will not make any sense if you are not attracted to this iconic car. It's doesn't make any sense if you are looking for:-

 

1) Power:- there are more powerful car for that price,

2) Practicality:- the mini is none of that.

3) Price:- it's pricey, look somewhere else.

i am not wanting to buy that car... i juz wanted to know what is the appeal of the brand and what draws consumer to buy it...

 

and yep i totally agree with what u said... not practical and now powerful coupled with exhorbant prices...

[Silver_blade]

Most people buy it cos it's iconic. Probably a dream car for many when they were much younger. It's a car with the x-factor, it's hip and fashionable. On it's performace part, the cooper s can be really fast and fun around the bends...a little like the old. Buying such car is not so much about the money. You are buying a dream, a lifestyle, a brand, etc. If you consider it's built quality, you will find that the price is not too bad.

Cute factor very high.. and its the only car that can cut into other's lane and get away with it

Why do you need to know?? I'm a mini owner. Not everyone goes for value for money deals.. If you really need to know, people usually buy a mini as a spare car. So basically, it doesn't have to be practical.

it's a street legal go kart. This is another driver's car. test drive and you'll know.

As with any car makes, do go for a test drive to find out for yourself if you like it or not. Practicality of the car? Based on what requirements? Only your lifestyle and needs will be able to determine if the car is practical.

The fact that you own a car of any make shows people you have the $$$ to spend. It doesn't have to be a MINI.

mini = hip & fun people

sedan = need 4 wheels only

MPV = old folk with blood suckers

SUV = old folk dreaming young again.

it's cute and retro.

i love the cabriolet model especialy the "Sports" model.

it's a cool looking car if you know how to appreciate it.

Financially, a person does not own the car until the loan is fully settled. It's more like people owe the car since the bank is the actual owner of it if loan is taken for it, that is.
