I’ve had the Mini Cooper S since April now. It’s still a blast to drive, but I’ll admit I’m quickly getting tired of just having two doors. When I bought it, I told myself that as my son aged the backseat would become easier for him to climb into.
Yes, my parenting inexperience reared it’s ugly head right there, and I know you other parents are snorting at my naivete. As he’s gotten older he has learned to crawl into the seat, but he’s also learned to crawl past that seat and into the trunk, or over the console into the front seat, or his favorite spot: in the rear passenger seat next to his carseat. That means I have to climb back there after him and attempt to wrangle 35 squirming pounds of boy into a car seat that’s practically bigger than the car. *Bonk* goes my head on the roof. *Bonk* goes my head on the doorsill. Whew, I’m exhausted just thinking about it. After just a few months of this I’m starting to eye four door cars very, very wistfully.
According to Edmunds I did an excellent job negotiating on the Mini, so who know… Perhaps it will be worth trading in.
