If you were me would you keep my car or look into these..............can you fit a bike on top?

Am I weird for starting to dig one of these little hatches? I really dig the British Racing Green with a black roof for some reason. anyone else like or hate them? I guess the fact that it get in the 30s for mpg is a big draw as well as fun handling.
I've been lusting after this car since 02 and was close to buying it 2 times now...

given that it's a funtastic car with good gas mileage too boot.... i think it will be a worth while purchase.

it's a hatchback, just fold down one (or both) of the rear seats.

a mini is infinitely safer than, say, a 1990 civic or one of many other older cars you may have driven.
