The last couple of months, just went by without any research on the car front due to a "pukathon" on the home front. Finally we went down to test drive the mini cooper S last week at the Mini of Mountain View. Man, this puppy is zippy for its size. I had to try out the "go-karting" capabilities of this one, so took the Hwy 85 north -> Hwy 237 East ramp, and boy it stuck to the ground at about 60-65mph on the S turn!
I was impressed! Although my son and wife didnt feel well after the test drive, with nausea kicking in ;) Sumati liked it. We tried out Rishon's car seat and it fits decently. He could in and out of the car, without too much effort. The cargo space is a joke, but is not something new to us, having owned a jeep wrangler for about 5 years!! We also went down to Lexus of Steven's creek, looked around the IS 250. Its a great car and good value for money. A perfect car for a small family, decent mileage and good standard options on it. For once, I was using my "left brain" and coaxing Sumati to pick the lexus - it being more practical with 4 doors, a decent trunk, future proofing for the family, blah.blah.blah. I dont know how that happened. Of course, she was using her "right brain", to balance it out. I think she had made up her mind.
So here we go. Its going to be a MINI COOPER S people!! Oh, we're all so excited!
