We bought a car! So after driving a classic Mini with Marlayna, it was clear that it wasn't the best option. Didn't fit well and we didn't like how it drove. It handled well but the engine/trans didn't feel good at all (although this was an older carbed version, fuel injected ones may be better).
Anyway, we decided to look for something else. We still wanted small with character and ended up getting a 2002 Smart Car, red with black accents. It actually has the more interior space for two occupants of any car I have ever been in! And it is really comfortable and the European version gets over 60MPG (although the US one does get less...go figure).

I would love to post pictures of OUR car....but I can't yet because we don't actually have it yet thanks to all the government complexities here. I put a downpayment yesterday to hold to car. Now I need to wait a few days for the dealer to get the car TUV approved (safety regulation board). Then I go back to the dealership in Hannover to pick up ownership papers BUT NO CAR and then drive to the registration office to get plates, title, etc. Then I need to get insurance set up AFTER I do all that. And then I can finally go pick up my car. Way easier in the States!!!
And yes, we have seen them parked like this (c:
