I use SilBlades on my MINI and love them. I had them on my last car for a full year, including a harsh winter, and they were still fine. They’re not rubber so they last super long. They have a 5 year warranty IIRC as well.

We HAD to buy an HHR when our video equipment would no longer fit in the MINI. Fortunately with discounts and such we got one for $13,500, literally half of what we paid for our MINI. So this year the MINI got 3,000 put on it which was from motoring to MINI events.

The HHR actually isn't a bad car. I know this sounds silly but it has the best remote of any car I have ever owned. My MINI remote completely sucks. That is the ONLY thing I don't like about my MINI. I can remote start the HHR for over 100 yards.

A good inexpensive car for a teen to learn driving a standard transmission is a Mazda Miata. My 1991 BRG has 190k and still runs well. It just sits since I got my Clubman back in September.

BTW, don’t forget Oxygen Blue on your NON-metallic list.

@dickdavid – you are correct, the changes of which I spoke came into play in the 2005 model year. New taillights, new headlights, 3 piece dash, steering wheel etc.

I thought they didn't do the major changes until the 05 MINI. My 04 R50 still had the 5 panel dash and Midlands tranny. Of course, that was an earlier build 04.

Happy New Year guys.
