luckykaaAaah'm a lookin' for a new car right now. I'm really rather taken with the new Mini. Even had a test drive. Kept stalling the %&*$ing thing. I'm used to a diesel where you can start pulling away, then apply some throttle.
Still, a very nice car. It would be nice to have something sporty. Then I looked at the cost of insurance.
YIKES!
And I'm still considering getting one. Price just seems a little too high. For a little less I can get a perfectly good Peugeot 206, and I can make an even bigger saving is it's used - even if it's almost new. More cars to look at. I think I'll skip the MG ZR. See above insurance "Yikes"

Another car to have several heart attacks about (w.r.t. prices) is an Aston Martin DB7 Vantage. Very nice but heart-failure inducing prices...
