Pros

Good fuel economy

Cons

Ride is a little rough

Purchased As Used

I love my Mini.Fun to drive and great versatility for a convertible. It can be a sunroof, top down or top up. Who would have thought it!! I bought it used 8 months ago. It's a 2006 with 22,000 miles on it. Runs great and I get tons of compliments on it. Backseat is a little cramped and cup holders don't hold all sizes....read morehide

the run flat tires tend to wear quickly

Purchased As Used

I love this car! I waited a long time for the car that I knew was just "me"! I bought my 2005 S model convertible with 7k miles on it almost 4 years ago and I have had no dissapointment at all. The first couple of years, many people approached me to find out how I liked the car. My standard line was, "I love it! It was one of those things in life I waited for, and when I got it, there was no dissappointment"....read morehide

Pros

Great on Gas!! Handles very well and fun to drive. Although it is a small car, you feel very safe.

Cons

Leg room in the back for my 6'ft kid, but I'm driving so who cares!!

I purchased my MINI in '06 brand new and from day one I love it! I have never liked small cars, learned how to drive in a '76 Buick regal and have always driven large cars because of the safety "fear", but when I test drove the MINI I did not feel as if I was in a small car. It handles GREAT, I love taking turns and curvs! At one time I was driving 48 miles to work, all city, all red lights, and could go 10 days on the same tank of gas while my co-workers were filling up every 3-5 days. I've driven it to North Carolina and back to Florida on a few occasions and got up to speeds of 130 at some points, the car did not feel like a small car and seemed to get "tighter" as you drove hugging the rode. My MINI is 3yrs old and I feel the same way driving it as I did when it first arrived from England!!
On the comfort part, little more leg room in the back for my passengers, however its usually short distances so I dont hear too many complaints....read morehide

Pros

Handling and fuel economy

Cons

Cost for oil change at dealer $100.00 plus, ouch !!

Purchased As New

Overall great car. Only problem being excessive rates charged at dealer for minor repair. The big problem I have is tire wear and noise in rear of car. Had alignment done ( all 4 wheels ) and car still eating up inside of both rear tires. Even with these small problems, I have a blast driving it. With added JCW package this little car has the umph that gets the job done, in a hurry !! My Miss Mini is a 2003, But looks like a 2009.....read morehide

Pros

Good on gas. The car is very sporty and turns corners on a dime.

Cons

Ride is rough, some parts of the car rattle and there isn't room for drinks.

I previously owned a Mustang GT but this card is way cooler. People stare wherever you go and alot of people ask you all about it. The performance of the Mini Cooper S is unbelievable! We drive this car everyday and each time it feels like running a race.

Cons

afraid other drivers on the road may not see me when switching lanes

Purchased As New

I bought a brand new 2008 convertible mini cooper sport about a year and a half ago and love it. everywhere i go people stop me and ask me about my mini. the overall appearance, comfort, value performance is terrific. you need to test drive one to understand why they are so loved.

Pros

great fuel economy, excellent handling

Cons

ride not exactly smooth on rough roads

Purchased As New

Great vehicle for heavy traffic here on Oahu! Handles wonderfully, on the narrow roads. Can turn on a dime and park anywhere with ease. Super gas mileage. Sunroof is fabulous here on the island. I have had my Cooper for 7 months and my only regret is not having enough roadway to really stretch her legs....read morehide
