spursmaddave Posted August 22, 2013 Posted August 22, 2013 If I was a young girl I would love that Quote
Ekona Posted August 22, 2013 Posted August 22, 2013 I dread to think of the insurance, but otherwise they're good cars. Jo loves her MCS cab, and we did look at the Roadsters too but they were simply too expensive for what they were. Quote
Ricey Posted August 22, 2013 Posted August 22, 2013 Deffo chicks car but in a good way if that makes any sense. I think I mean a girl would look cool in it Quote
The G Man Posted August 22, 2013 Author Posted August 22, 2013 The insurance actually is not bad, £628 fully comp, 21 yr old, 0 NCB. The car is is not the S, but has the Chilli Pack, 17" Conical Spoke alloys, Red and black half leather interior with contrasting Piano Black trim and Chrome Line interior. My other daughter had the turbo S, and I loved that go kart. Quote

HaydnH Posted August 23, 2013 Posted August 23, 2013 It reminds me of the odd look you get from the rear quarter of the Z roadster... but without being able to put the roof down and make it look awesome! Quote
Dblock Posted August 23, 2013 Posted August 23, 2013 These minis look really sporty and aggressive in the metal. Quote
The G Man Posted August 23, 2013 Author Posted August 23, 2013 These minis look really sporty and aggressive in the metal. One of her stipulations was her new car wasn't to look girly, ok for us hardnosed drivers of big beasty coupe's, it might a look a little girly, but you're right, they are aggressive and sporty in the metal, surprised me actually. It has quite a lot of nice touches as well, the rear spoiler for instance, can either be used so it automatically deploys above 50, then retracts below 37, but you can deploy it manually, there's probably no real function to it but that's a cool addition. The black wheels also add to the aggressive look, on most cars but especially red ones. It has all the bells and whistles on the inside too, with the added bonus of a big boot, although only a two seater. She was looking at a Corsa VXR, but when I persuaded her to test drive a mini, just to demonstrate that even the basic one's have a bit of grunt, she loved it. She has been relatively spoiled due to the fact, her only real experience of driving is in her mum's Leon FR, or her boyfriends VXR. So it took a bit of persuasion from me to get her to look at anything else. She liked the new Clio, beautiful little car, but the engine range, apart from the snarling Renault Sport Turbo version, didn't set her imagination going, neither did the Fiat 500 range, Citroen or anything else, so I had to get the VXR out her head. Counting down the sleeps with her, we've sorted insurance and just waiting on the reg number now. Quote
Stutopia Posted August 23, 2013 Posted August 23, 2013 Awesome first car, I had "access" to a Renault 5 at that age, didn't even own it. Built in straight lines, it was like an isometric projection. Quote
Bockaaarck Posted August 23, 2013 Posted August 23, 2013 I'm sure they're great but they're a real Marmite car for me, not something I like. That being said as long as your daughters happy with it, enjoys driving it and she can scoot around to her hearts content that's the main thing Quote

That being said as long as your daughters happy with it, enjoys driving it and she can scoot around to her hearts content that's the main thing That was her exact word "marmite", but she loves it and there's not that many around and wherever she scoots about in it, it'll draw attention and comment, hopefully good attention, she's too excited to bother with comment. I can't wait for a spin myself. gonna get my Wil.i.am tunes on and go bust Dblock's chops (only kidding D ) Quote
