   Evening all peddlers. I hope we are all enjoying the weather. Who is going and looking forward to Revival…🙋🏻‍♂️. I am 2 years into my PCP and I’m paying 6.8%. Most now are 12.9 or above in the second hand market. New they are single fingers, yet the car is more, a lot more money so the monthly are very high.

   Agree we have a petrol Cooper but friends electric Mini feels faster than the 7.6 seconds would suggest. In Malta taking in the sights. Friend does finance for vehicles etc 4.99% flat rate currently.

      Nah let’s go back to rusting away, no safety features, a crumple zone that was your face. I know three people who got hit from the side and the Car flipped two times because a G-Wagon didn’t see them. The Car a F56 MINI Cooper S. The rescue response team couldn’t believe the three walked out of it and the survivor zone created by the car being a collapsing crumple zone with perfect strength to absorb and protect. The Car completely written off but saved the lives inside. That is why the Car is it’s current weight and size to the muppets that can’t work it out. Also growing up with the classic mini’s it’s actually really nice to have a conversation on the motorways in the modern MINI to that of the classic. Would I swap my classic mini experiences absolutely not but time has moved on.

   A massive difference compared to the original Mini Countryman, would be a staggering side by side.

   I’ve just watched another EV channel where a Hyundai Ioniq got 7.4 miles per kWh being driven with a light foot in mixed conditions. This kind of efficiency is what manufacturers should be focusing on rather than out and out performance.

   New Minis are always too big. That’s how it works.

   Same for all vehicles.

   Can anyone name a new model than actually became SMALLER than the previous?

    They really should have built that Rocketman one, they showed the concept of a few years ago.

    Currently paying 6.8% on my Porsche which I purchased back in April 2021 from a Porsche dealership, I have been looking around to change over the past few weeks. But with their interest rates approaching 11% they are unlikely to get my business any time soon, looks like I will be holding on to my current car for a while yet.

    I’m waiting for the ‘Mini’ One Ton Pickup, and the ‘Mini’ Luton Box Van.

    I am not a fan of the new Mini design yet but it might grow on me but then again there are not many cars I have owned that I like the newer versions of. I bought my Honda just as rates were changing and although I cant remember the rate I am on but it is lower than the !0% that ford were quoting for a Fiesta St that was costing an extra £100 a month on a similarly priced car to the Honda. Looking forward to the review of the Mustang it looks the part & I do like the colour.

    I sincerely hope the reason for not being at the new Mini launch/ first look was due to your busy schedule, and not down to lack of invite! Shortsighted on Mini’s part in my view (if it was the latter).

    Nice to meet you in person today. As discussed. Paying 2% pcp atm. 12 months left. Quoted 9% to replace. Likely to step away from pcp unless it changes.
