Wadda-ya think?

So yesterday I went to the local Mini Cooper dealership to see about driving one of their cars for a day or so, well you can see it below. So tell me honestly, what do you think? I am kind of in the market for a new car, maybe. Just surveying my options right now. Deacon Bill thinks I would not like the car, for what it is worth he is not the only one who thinks this...thus the reason for my extended test drive. So hit the comment box and tell me what you think.

Father Vic, BUY IT!!! It will look good in your private parking space for this YEAR only. You will enjoy driving it. It will be fun.
PS: Make sure you take some pictures of it setting in YOUR parking space so you can look at them next year!!!!!

Go test drive the 08 Honda Civic. At the end of the year I purchased a fully loaded one [leather & navigation]. Great gas milage and good safety features. Little bit bigger than they used to be. Love, kf

I think it is a little small for me - so in turn it must be too small for you - very logical thinking. Your the one who has to drive it so don't let my opinion sway you to much. It will be interesting to see how you liked it. AFGG

I think it is a little small for you and after while you will get tired of rolling out of it, but if it gets good gas mileage then go for it. My wife drives a vw bug with a diesel engine and gets 47 miles to a gallon so I don,t mine rolling out of it. larry

Fr. Vic,
I think if you do not plan on driving around alot of friends it would be great for you.
I know the Mini holds its value and are very dependable/reliable.

You look good standing next to it! But it is not very practical. So who wants to be practical!

Well, it sure was fun to ride in! If you want it, and they can assure you it's safe...go for it!! You deserve it!

Fr. Vic,
Andrew at the GB here. I am a proud Mini owner. Next time you visit Catholic HQ on West Peachtree Street, you can test drive mine, if you can drive a standard.

Looks good, sounds like it drives great. Just two thoughts:

Will you get sucked under the 18 wheelers as you cruise up the connector?

Is there enough room for your tennis gear?
