    Thanks for the replies!

    Yea, im swaying between what to do, some people say smart roadster and some say mini, the only thing about minis is (no offence you guys) they are everywhere. I know about 12 friends who have got or had one at some point!!

    But dont get me wrong the smart has its problems too!!

    If i got a mini i would have to put a nice set of wheels and remap it... mmm tempting!!

    Il give iain a call, cheers

    You have a point - minis are everywhere at the mo, but there is also a great community built up around that, check out this site, mini2.com, miniaddiction.co.uk and heaps of other online communities built up around peoples love for the mini

    My mate has a smart roadster and as martin says the mini's have much more of a community spirit. So if you just want a car, then there is a choice, however if you want to belong to an ever growing community where you can get free help, advice and good times GET THE MINI!!

    The smart is nice, but scratches very easy 'cos of the plastic bodywork and soft paint....(another reason to buy the mini...)

    Oh and another thing WELCOME

    I think it will have to be the mini because nobody will insure me at all...:(
