The Story of Me and My Mini:

The Story of Me and My Mini:

I just moved from New York to Atlanta. During this period of travel and transition, I was upgraded to a Mini rental car on two occasions. I found the experience of driving a Mini completely pleasurable, even exciting; It is fun to drive, feels solid and safe, economical on gas and mileage, and surprisingly spacious.

Although not at all a car enthusiast, I was so impressed that I made a trip to Global Imports MINI to become more familiar with the different models and pricing to seriously consider buying once I moved to Atlanta. There, I met Mark Thomson who patiently introduced me to the various models, color and trim options and purchase and lease alternatives. Although my move to Atlanta would not be finalized for four or five months, Mark kept in touch with me presenting alternative available Minis. He is patient, thorough and has a caring and gentle style which I am sure reflects his caring and gentle nature. At no time during the five month period did I feel a sales pressure and, because of Mark's consistently staying in tough with me, did I consider other car options.

I finally purchased, with Mark's invaluable help, my first Mini. It is exactly the car I had wanted; model, trims, upgrades, pricing, payments, etc. it is as though Mark had made my wish come true without pressure and without forcing a compromise.

I am now driving my Mini and loving it. Without Mark's gentle perseverance and absence of hard sell pitch, I may very well have ended up with another vehicle and completely miss on the thrill of driving a Mini.

Than you Mini and thank you Mark!
