A couple months ago me and my wife decided we need a new cars, my 2001 Corolla was looking a bit ratty and was going to need some engine work. She had no problems with her 04 RAV4 she just wanted something bigger. She knew right away that she wanted a Honda CRV. She ended up getting an EX-L trim full loaded, I cant stand how it drives but she is happy. For me it was a bit more difficult of a choice, I wanted a smaller car, kinda looked at Civics when we were looking at her CR-V and liked the way the CR-Z was designed, being a hybrid was kinda cool too but sadly no back seats. Checked out a few other cars, all kinda what I wanted but not exact. Two weeks ago I stepped into a MINI dealership to kinda humor my curiosity on a car that I have always had my eye on. One test drive and I was sold, or rather the car was. Thisis my new baby, Signed papers and drove her off the lot with a grand total of 8 miles on her.
Awwww it's as cute as a button! Have you called her Ladybug?
My wife calls it "El Diablo Rojo" or something like that... I don't know my Spanish sucks. My best friend calls it "the rotting tomato" since it he says it looks like a tomato with mold on top. I just call it my go-cart on steroids.
The OP sounds like my father a few years ago. He was looking into buying a new car and was going more for Miles per gallon. Somewhere he found a mini he could test drive, loved it, made hour or so strip the the Mini Dealer and had one ordered. He doesn't like the split color most Minis have so his is special 
it is solid blue.
They are neat cars, even neater to get 4 people in there (the bigger they are, the better) to ride around. Nothing like seeing people pile out of a small car

There is a woman who frequents our dog park who has a mini with a Union Jack painted on the hood and two little Union Jacks on the backs of the side mirrors. I want to drive over the thing with a monster truck.
One guy at my job keeps saying if the parking lot is full he has ramps so I can drive my car onto his pickup.

If I had the money I'd get a mini cooper myself. They are built well and have a great record. I may soon have to break down and get one anyways the old beat up honda with 300k miles is dying.
I thought this thread was going to be about ******.

Gratz on your new toy! At least no one said it looked like a used tampon... 
Not totally related, but we got a new Honda Fit for my wife early this year and I really have to say that thing is an incredible buy at 16k. The gas mileage is insane for a non-hybrid and with a manual transmission it's even kinda fun to drive. I'm 6'3 and have never fit in a car better in both the front and the back.
So if anyone's in the market, give one a shot.
New cars are fun. I've spent the last few months kicking around all sorts of ideas for next year when i plan to get something new.

I will snag one when she gets home
I have a friend who bought the Fit a while back and he swears by his as well. He was shocked with the amount of space in it given it's size. And not just for people, but it's ability to compact and make space for cargo.
Donate. One day it could be your family.

yeah it's basically a mini-minivan. very little space used up by the engine compartment, and being a hatchback theres no trunk obviously. The fuel tank is under the front seats, so the back is very low, giving you a tall cargo box. Very practical vehicle.

Does anyone think this is dangerous? I could see having a smoke and farting and BOOOOOOOOOOOOM! you are dead!

How about the Civic GX. Uses compressed natural gas, you get rear ended and you you turn into a terrorists wet dream.
I prefer my cars to be fashioned from surplus nuclear subs, myself.

That's a myth; the easily explosive fuel tanks that is.
As for your sheet metal piercing farts, well, I pity your man.

Cars are deathtraps for non-binoculared-visioned folk and should therefore be outlawed.
