Subaru Killer
When I was looking at more practical vehicles to replace the Miata, the only car on the road I routinely looked at and thought “I miss mine” was the Mini. So I’ve gone back to my roots a bit and picked up a 2021 Cooper S hardtop. It was sold new with 5,175 miles on it as it was a loaner at my local Mini dealership.
It is a Signature trim car, which is the middle trim that includes heated seats, a panoramic sunroof, dual-zone automatic climate control, and a 7-speed dual-clutch automatic with paddles that are actually sized to be used. Power comes from a 2.0L turbocharged 4-cylinder that’s used across the BMW family including some weird non-BMW called a Supra. My car also has the Touchscreen Navigation package that includes CarPlay, which was a must for me. I also discovered last night that I apparently have Mini-logo puddle lights. The color is Starlight Blue Pearl.
Where is the Miata going? To my dad. He’s had his eye on it for a few years and after a recent health scare, we both decided to accelerate the timeline to get it to him. It’ll live in my garage for a couple of days until he gets plates for it. I’m sad to see it go, but so happy my dad finally gets his toy car.
First up for the Mini will be a proper detailing followed by a ceramic coat, the installation of my Light in Sight, and then I’ll enjoy driving it. Time to keep a car stock for once… I think.
