We've been kickin' around the idea of getting a new car for quite some time. In September, we test drove a tiny electric Zap Car. A few months later, we test drove a big, tanklike Volvo. Nothing really struck us as a good replacement for the Acura and/or Audi.
But we finally found it: Our perfect little reliable car- The Mini Cooper!
We traded in the good 'ole Acura (208,000 miles) for this 2007 Mini (11,200 miles). It's cute, it's fun, it's easy to park, it's adorable, and it gets super duper gas mileage. I love it!
It's basically a miniature version of our Audi. They're both silver station wagons, one's just much larger than the other:
They're both very good cars. :-)
