My little brother will be getting his license soon, and he'll need a car. At first my family agreed that he would get my Jetta GLI 1.8t as his first car, and I'm cool with it, it's my daily beater, and that way I could start driving the X5 more. But then we remembered that my older sister would need a car next year in Boston, because she will be driving in and around the city for rotations for college. My brother wanted the Cooper S, and my sister likes it as well, but it only came in manual, and it wouldn't be good for her because of the city. Then I went on the website, and they now make the Cooper S in automatic with paddle shift steptronic as well. The paddle shifting would take care of his need for a manual transmission (well kind of).
We're planning on test-driving it soon, but before we go and do that, I wanted your opinions on them. What do you think of the Mini Cooper? Anything you hate about it? Anything that annoys you about it, or is just bothersome? And any options/packages that you suggest getting, and staying away from?
Thanks for any info in advance, we really appreciate it.
