November 1st, 2011 07:29 AM #2There's more of a WOW factor with the Cooper I think...
Next would be the A1, then 1-series.
C30? Ok ba yung after-sales service ng volvo? haha

hmmm the "timbangan" speedometer in the middle looks a little weird... hopefully it would appeal to girls?

November 1st, 2011 10:59 AM #5Yung Coop, mapa-wow mga girls diyan since it's cute. Haha.
Yung 1-series naman ... erm ... personally, I like it. Ewan ko lang kung magusuthan ng wife mo. ;)
Kaya Mini Cooper ako, the ' S ' of course.

November 1st, 2011 01:36 PM #6The new 1 series is kind of... errh... uhh... quasi-modo-ish... though supposedly they've fixed the horrid ride.
The regular Cooper is actually nice to drive and has a slightly softer ride than the Cooper S. Kinda slow with the AT.
The Cooper S with the automatic and paddle-shifters is the most desirable MINI... the Cabrio is nice looking with the roof down, but she will be driving with the roof up most of the time... which gives you enormous blind spots... looks awkward, and transmits lots of heat and noise into the cabin.
Or you could get her a Roadster...
Ang pagbalik ng comeback...

November 2nd, 2011 02:46 PM #15Just another thought. Women drivers often don't care that much about speed but they do like cars that are safe, easy to drive, with a great visibility of the road, and lots of space to put their stuff. So instead of a small car, have you considered getting a CUV for your dearly beloved as well? The Volvo XC60, Mercedes GLK, Land Rover Freelander (known for its reliability, actually
) or even the Hyundai Tucson Premium may be more ideal rides for her. Lower rides include the Volvo S40 or the Lexus CT200h,
