The impact of consumers perceived symbolic image congruity on the perceived functional image congruity would also be analyzed in this study. the secondary and primary data are used in quantitative approach, gathered by using online questionnaire to the respondent who has a relation with the MINI brand, including the car owner and also fans of the brand.
