Is a BINI too girlie?

[Easternlight]

As the title really, I find myself drawn to a mini countryman cooper s.
But as a 50 year old male i'm a bit worried about the image, I know they are supposed to be all style over substance (are they?) and I know you should just have what you want and sod what other people think, but what's the PH opinion.

Well 15 minutes in and I think I know the answer to my question!!!
Better go back to looking at RS6 avants now that's got to be a mans car all be it a bankrupt man.

Well, Thanks to everyone for their opinions, they just confirm what I already knew really.
I'm Just looking for something to scratch an itch, trouble is I don't really know what the itch is, but i Think it may be mad bad V8 or V10 itch and not a pretty little car itch!

Only used the BINI so people knew I was talking about the modern one and not the classic.

I can't believe the OP is going to decide on the potential of a car based on what a load of people say on a forum

And not form your own opinion based on what it's actually like to drive, deals that could be struck, etc.

I'm not, Just wanted to see I other peoples perceptions were the same as my own, and they are.

Don't buy an RS6 just because you think people on PH will like it.

If I was to get an RS6 it wouldn't be because of PH it would be because a lady took me for a blast across Yorkshire in this 8 years ago and I have never forgotten it!
