My first vehicle was a 2009 Mini Cooper. Bought it off a friend of mine who was posted out of the country. He had only had it for two years, and for one of those it was in storage since he couldn't take it with him, so it was practically a new car.
Man, that was a fun ride. It handled like a go cart. It was awesome to drive on road... but of course that was it's main drawback. I still miss it...
Oddly enough, I almost sold it back to the guy I bought it from when I was going to get my Jeep, but he found out he was going overseas again and decided he wanted something more capable - and yet he got a Ford Edge. Man, the dude just doesn't get it.
