2009 MINI Cooper Hardtop User Reviews

Pros

tons of fun to drive, unique, many options, great gas mileage

Cons

does not handle bumps well at all, cargo room is minimal, backseat uncomfortable for passengers

Purchased As New

This car is so much fun to drive. It is zippy, has go-kart handling, and is a powerful little thing. I bought mine with the cold weather package (well worth it for the upcoming cold New England winter- the heated seats work great!), and the premium package. Love the bluetooth that syncs my car and phone. I find the sound system to be fine, but if you put the volume up too high, it does start to get more muffled.

The worst thing about this car is that it does not handle bumps very well. Where I live, many of the side streets are poorly paved, which makes me nervous driving down them because the tires are so small! Also, I go about 4 miles per hour over speed bumps because literally anything over 6 mph is too much for the car to handle. Not sure if this is a tire issue or not, but the tires are quite small!

Overall, this is the best car I have ever owned. I am so possessive of it, I love it. Everyone wants to drive it, but that won't happen :)
