2012 MINI Cooper Hardtop User Reviews

Pros

road handling, performance, gas mileage

Cons

comfortable for front seat only

Purchased As New

LOVE it! Even the base model has plenty of power and it holds the road like like nobody's business. It's one solid little tank.

Pros

parking is a breeze, good mpg, great performance

Cons

seat belts are hard to buckle when door is closed. and of course the cup holders are to small.

I ordered my 2012 jcw in spice orange with black top and black mirrors,The up graded harmon kardon stereo sounds great and is well worth the money.I also ordered the center armrest,which is not worth the money it is to short and makes buckling the seat belt even harder. This is my second mini the first was a 2003 hatchback S which I had zero problems with. The car has a lot of fun factor built in. I replaced my 2003 corvette with this car and with gas prices and insurance. I'm completely happy with my choice....read morehide

Pros

Quite powerful, drives well.

Cons

Uncomfortable, not nearly enough space, looks

Purchased As Not Purchased

I test drove this car, and i didn't like it. At all. Ok, I prefer it to the Prius, or the Accent, but it's nothing special.

First of all, It's not a Mini. Minis are all about being small and compact. This is still compact on the inside, with barely enough space for anything, but the actual car is no smaller than a Civic, and much larger then the new Smart cars.

Next, it doesn't look like anything remotely British. Its bulky and too curved in the wrong places. Also, Porsche called, they want their headlights back. And that is not a compliment.

Overall, I can't say i like this car one bit. If I wanted a small car/hatchback, i'd buy a Ford Focus or Honda Civic with the money i'd otherwise waste on the Mini....read morehide

Purchased As Used

I love my new car!! This was my birthday present from me to me. I traded in a mini van. This car is just perfect for me. The 'only' bad thing I have seen so far.... is no place to put my purse when someone else rides with me other than the floor! But, I can live with that!!!
