I think she may be going through some type of midlife crisis or something , she has never been that much of a car person but has her heart set on a red one with white stripes and sun roof . it would be our third car (along with a mini van and my 9-3 ) to be used for short trips around town mostly. i am not entirely opposed to the idea and of course i could use it for commutes to work - i think they get good highway mpg ? above 40 mpg and i think would be a fun driver particularly the s version
my biggest concern is the safety of such a small car ,particularly with my 2 year old daughter in the car.it has good safety ratings but isn't that in comparison to other small cars as compared to a overall rating?
also the nearest dealer is two hours away so i doubt i would be taking it there for anything otehr than maj or warranty work. i'm thinking a used one makes more sense, anyone with exp with DIY repairs on mini's? thanks john
