2007 MINI Cooper User Reviews

Pros

a BLAST to drive, Responsive, Mini Warranty is Great

Cons

Stock Speakers leave alot to be desired, Run Flat Tires

Purchased As Used

Bought used with 10K. I've had one year with minimum issues. Issues I did have were dealt with no hassles from Mini Service at no charge to me (Car comes with 3 yr complete maintenance/warranty, and I mean complete)

As you drive the car for awhile you start noticing the real value and incredible BMW engineering that goes into the car that just blows away anything in it's class.

If you have a family this car may not be for you. Front seats have ample legroom (I'm 6'0") and I need to pull seat up. You can fit one petite adult or a child in the backseat. I'm 40 something and for my wife and my dog this is a great car.

My cons list the factory speakers. Most all stink and I would probably replace any OEM coming with any car anyway. The Run Flats do wear quickly. Most owners go to non runflats and keep the exisitng TPMS monitoring system and keep the tire pressure at spec. Onboard computer will notify when below 25psi. (I read 85% of blowouts are from low tire pressure) That and a can of tire sealant and a active membership with AAA and your covered.

In the S you have a performance car. Performance tires wear fast. If you want you can get some 16" rims and run more traditional tires. You'll lose some of the performance but it may give you less tire changes.

All in all I love the car and would not want to drive anything else

Let's go motoring!
