    ChiliRed is calling your name... The price differential won't even be seen in your loan amount. Amenities are a matter if personal preference and I believe you'll be happy if you elect to opt in their favor.

    P.S. .... I don't comprehend the no sunroof mindset at all. I've only owned one car without one and that's cause it wasn't a decent offered option for that 72 Vega GT. Just my .02.

    Well on Thursday I purchased new baby, my 2013 Mini Cooper Hardtop with just 17 miles in Chilli Red. I even wore a red sweater when I picked it up. I flew to Alexandria VA and drove the beauty home to NC. I got what I knew I would love versus what I would like. I went with neither of my original choices, but what I wanted all along. My Mini has a sunroof (I'm a sunroof fan) and cold weather package. NC has had a cold winter. Those two options were important to me, and the marginal price difference is honestly unimportant. To say I am in love is an understatement. And I love the black interior.

    Excellent!!! Great color I wish I had a sunroof. NC so you have to come to the Dragon! You didn't buy a car, you adopted a pet that eats petrol.

    Looks like you got the best of both your original choices. Congratulations - and welcome to the extraordinary world of Chili Red MINIs. :Thumbsup:

    BTW, I was in NC in January, and even though it was abnormally chilly, that wasn't COLD! COLD has a minus sign in front of it - although I did think the weather alert for possible frozen puddles on the streets was amusing. :biggrin5:
