According to findings by vehicle hypermarket Carcraft, Mini Cooper drivers are some of the most sociable when it comes to online networking.
A recent study by the firm showed that some 20,000 owners network across 300 different groups on Facebook related to their model of choice.
This compares with the HONDA Civic, which took second place with 187 fan groups.
"It is interesting to see that cars are not only viewed as a symbol of wealth and status but they are increasingly becoming a crucial part of people's identity and social life," commented managing director at Carcraft Barry Nightingale.
Meanwhile, the Mini Cooper was recently named Best Small Car 2008 by Fleet News as a result of its impressive residual value and fuel economy.
