This is so, so, typical for so many on this forum. Straight out information that MAY be useful to someone, and Nothing but negative or off course comments. It is true what they say about old people; they love to complain, argue, and contradict, just to hear or see themselves talk. I guess it validates that they are still alive.
And predictably, not one comment from the more typical positive and helpful forum members, that only post to be helpful, who read this and wonder why the comments were even made.
No one asked anyones opinions about reliability of Minis, small cars, hybrid cars, ones negotiating abilities, or the only dealership in your town.
But thanks for bringing the post to the top so that maybe someone that could use it, will see it and use it.
Or feel free to start a thread about your opinion of the above, and garner a discussion that is on topic.
I m around old people and notice they often look at things negatively. I attribute it to them living in the Depression Era.
Hmmm, don't think there are too many depression era seniors active on this forum. I LIKE to think I only post if I am contributing something, anything. I just don't see the point of expressing something like "I don't like the color blue, it's not my kind of color", when it adds nothing to the discussion. Yet this forum is full of it.

Hmm, my mother [b.1923] was 6 when the market crashed, my father was 2 years older. They would be among the youngest people to have lived through the Great Depression. They have both passed on, but if they were alive today, they would be 94 and 96 this year.
So I would tend to agree with you, that there would be very few who are still able to be active on internet forums.

I had a 2009 Mini and kept it until 2015 when I bought a SUV. It was time to get a grown up car since all the baby boomers had an SUV. I hated driving the SUV after tooling around in the Mini. The Mini was comfortable even while driving long distances. DH is 6'4" and said the Cooper had more headroom than our older Camry.
I sold the SUV last year and bought another Mini. The newer Mini's do not require premium gas.
To each their own. Enjoy life while you can.
Sooo, my retirement car is a MINI.
