2006 MINI Cooper S

Am I the only one who drives my cars seemingly forever? BTW, it was still a great car except for the rodents who loved to nest under the hood and chew the cables.

2020 BMW M340i. It doesn't drive as well obviously, I wasn't expecting it to, but it's still very impressive.

My MME GT PE replaced a 2002 Jaguar XKR. It was a wonderful, comfortable car with plenty of performance, but nothing compared to the MME GT PE, plus the MME is a lot more practical, comparatively WAY less expensive, and so far, way more reliable. I looked at new Jaguars, both the F-Type R and the I-Pace, but the MME hit all the buttons for me.

Lexus UXh FSport. It was a hybrid getting me about 44 mpg. It was a VERY comfortable car but VERY slow (0 - 60 in about 8.5 seconds). The Lexus was much more comfortable than the GT. But I'm willing to give up the comfort for the feeling I get every time I get in my car.

Waiting on my GTPE but currently driving a 2019 Stinger GT1 AWD. My expectations for the GTPE are pretty high as my Stinger has been fantastic (in fact, still debating every day if I should sell or keep it once I get the GTPE, but combined 23 mpg isn't ideal for my commute).

Last 4:
2002 Subaru Forester -> 2006 Subaru Forester 2.5 XT -> 2009 Subaru Forester 2.5 XT -> 2019 BMW X3

I liked my Foresters.

I don't think that MME is bouncier than any of them, or currently owned (but rarely driven now) Honda CRV.

We currently have a 2013 Nissan Leaf SL with about 60 miles of range on it. Fortunately it is enough for the daily commute as it's been our only car for about 10 months now.

The MME was to replace a 2017 MB b250e
Interior appointments were gorgeous and it had all the bells and whistles. Thought we had done our homework prior to buying used from MB dealership and there were no major issues but unfortunately discovered a little known issue with the coolant leaking into the Tesla motor bricking the whole car. Luckily when this happened to us, less than a year after buying, we were still under warranty. Repair would have run $16k out of pocket. After it was repaired I was nervous to keep it as the warranty was quickly expiring so I sold it to the Ford Dealership and they paid me about half of what they sold it for. Just didn't want the buyer coming after me if it bricked again. Suspension sucked on it so you would feel a lot of the bumps on the road but otherwise would have kept it if I didn't feel it was a ticking time bomb.
The wife and I test drove the Tesla Y and 3, VW ID4, Volvo X40 Recharge, Kia Niro, and MME 2x before picking the MME. I also wanted to try the Audi E-Tron but the dealer told us there was $6-7k markup right off the bat so we passed. What sealed the deal was getting in writing (email) from the sales manager at the local Ford dealership that there would be no dealer mark up.

Had timing been different with the Nissan Ariya, assuming it can hold a candle to the MME, the final purchase may have been different as our Leaf has been very reliable.

The MME's immediate predecessor was a 2017 Chevy Bolt. It was primarily my wife's car and was only driven in town. Since we have solar panels on our roof and excess capacity, we drove it for four years and 33,000 miles at zero cost after purchase. Unfortunately, something like 14 Bolts worldwide had battery issues that ended in car combustion and a series of recalls which turned ownership into a less enjoyable experience and didn't do much for resale value. We petitioned GM to buy the car back from us and to their credit, they did. My wife's car before the Bolt was a 1998 Ford Contour SVT, another beloved car. I have been into American Muscle Cars for much of my life. My fastest accelerating car had been a 1971 Plymouth Road Runner 440 6 Pack which did 0 - 60 in 5.5 sec. and the ¼ mile in 13.7 sec @ 107 mph on street tires back in the day. I never envisioned the kind of performance the MME will have and I look forward to experiencing it.
