so I sold my hhr. I originally bought the car because I was getting married and for the last 4-5 months of being single the car has made me miserable to even start it up.

it was a great car but I took my chances and bought a bmw

im not against the hhr (except the seats suck)

but this car brings me true happiness

its an 05 supercharged 6 speed convertible.
heated seats
HIDS (factory option)
leather
bluetooth
parking sensors
power top
leds behind door handles(also factory)


114k miles

this thing has so many options

ITS GOT A AC VENT IN THE GLOVEBOX TO COOL DRINKS!

hhr was an 09 with 40k miles they gave me 10.5 trade in and the mini was 13k so I think I did great and I got a 2 year warranty

I could not find the hhr ss I wanted loaded so I made this choice

SS fan

Nifty little convertible

I've know several that have owned Mini's and they all said the same thing, handles great, rides like crap.

Good luck it it.

now that its got aftermarket wheels and regular tires that replace a runflat setup its really really smooth.

I tried a stock mini and yes the rides horrible

johouse.....

Congratulations, Mini's are great vehicles (in most instances). You will love the car, if it has been taken care of. It's a great example of German engineering taking a piece of crap and turning it into a terrific machine.

I drove one, on loan for testing, for about a month. Really enjoyed it.

My nephew still owns his '05 CooperS. Has about 160,000 on it. Tires and brakes..... the only money in it.

But I see pics of a Mini? Nice car, though.

Nice little car. Good luck with it.

I do have to make a comment however- the picture of the rear seat brings to mind female body parts, lower front & rear, you'll never look at that picture the same ever again.

That is what I thought too. Mini is made by Cooper but are owned by BMW. Technically it is and isn't a BMW.

ya parts and whatnot are bmw and repair costs are bmw built solid like bmw

but drives like a sportscar
