Mad to go back to a Mini

Have one almost 4 year old. I currently drive a 2003 Range Rover, it needs work and my husband said why not get something fun you like. It’s mostly just me and my daughter in the car, we live in a town and my commute is under 20miles both ways. I would still have access to his bigger car if needed.

Isn't your Range Rover under warranty? What kind of work could it need that makes it financially unviable?

But anyway, you're in a position to please yourself. and if you'd prefer a Mini why wouldn't you?

Sorry typo which made me sound quite entitled. RR is actually yr 2003

Totally! Far prefer a min to a RR! If it’s only you and your daughter using it and you can use a bigger car. I loved my mini, great fun to drive. Miss it!!

I've just bought my 2nd mini, absolutely love them.
Easy to drive and park and it's nippy.
Bought a 5 door this time, loads of room on it.
Get a mini 😁

Ooh @DonewhatIcando which one did you get, a Countryman? And can I ask petrol or diesel?

I love my mini! It’s my second one. I have a 5 door Cooper S and it’s really nippy and fun to drive.

I'd get one of the bigger minis, for the rear legroom.

Go for the new Renault 5, it has rave reviews and is supposed to be really fun to drive

@JamesWebbSpaceTelescope love the new Renaults too, has to be the yellow, but a bit out of my budget for a couple of years
