If I was to sell my Yaris T Sport:

Excellent condition, faultless driving really and is quick!

For...

A Mini like this!

It must be an old school colour like Beige, but I'm really really in love with them and it'd be hilarious fun!

But I drive 50-60 miles daily, what are the odds a wheel will fall off midway through my journey?

Talk me in/out of it!!

Yes its the same as any other car

well ok maybe not the same but nothing wrong with it. 1275cc injection so no water fears. Suspension is quite hard but its better than my old Corsa for ride. Full leather interior blahh blahhh.

They are ace. I use mine all the time, work and horses daily and long journeys too. Never have any issues with it.

Love them, DOOOOOOOOO IT

Yeah server issues. Keep trying tho. Got a huugggee international mini show this year in birmingham too in august.

If you look after them properly its never an issue and when issues do come up if you take them to the proper people not the drunken experts its again never an issue.

The local mini club members will also never leave you helpless.

In the 2 years iv had the mpi, its been off the road once to change a wheel bearing. Keep on top of services etc and its not a problem.

You'd be stark raving bonkers.

I've driven the old Minis and I cant see what everyone raves about them for. They are horrendous things.

Arrgh! I've been looking at them on MiniSpares etc and I'm an inch away from putting my Yaris on Pistonheads but the fear is it breaking down when I need to get to Uni! Kirsty I'll add you later after I've taken Eck for a Big Mac then we'll talk Minis

Shelley, they're great fun a bit like driving a motorised go-kart I'm sure you'd love one

..................... BUT despite mines being well looked after, one thing seemed to break after another and cost me a fortune in repairs

I'm not pretending to be some sort of mini expert, just speaking from personal experience

Colin's got her in bits atm, going to weld her together again to get her through an MOT
