Mini as a inexpensive commuter car?
My Miata is a fun little sports car, however it is also my DD/commuter (40 miles a day/200 miles a week) and whereas it is great fun for weekend cruises a road warrior it is not.
The Miata is also only getting 27mph, from all I hear a Mini is just as much fun to drive, has more room, and gets better gas mileage.
Deal breaker is price, pretty sure I would be doing good to get $5K for a 1995 Miata and I presume a decent Mini (good enough condition for a DD) would run twice that?
Anyway, just in case I dig up a coffee can in the backyard full of $100 bills. If I were in the market for a Mini, what years/models were the best/worst?
TIA
