Review
I used to own a 1967 MINI Coooper S. It was great fun, but unreliable, and in the shop constantly. The new MINI Cooper S is everything I could have wanted back then, and more. Handling, Safety, creature comforts, and feels better at 100 miles an hour than most cars. We use this car to move theings when we can't use our 5 series BMW, because we can fit more in with the seats folded down. This is a great car.

Never was a car person,but LOVE this car. Great road feel,well-engineered for cheap, and an attention-getter (unforseen outcome). While no 50 mpg,I'm feeling smug with prices at $2.50 per gallon. Don't be deceived by size.Have pictures of car loaded for ski weekend for 2 adults with 3 pairs of boots, 2 pairs of skis, and a snowboard. Not even packed. Only thing I've had to borrow a car for was to borrow a ladder. Both are better borrowed. Couple of little troubles (Power steering pump {made noise,took it in}, loose battery conection {had it towed,felt stupid}, vibration on sunroof easily resealed. All under warranty,as are oil changes every 10K. What a peach. Buying out the lease.

My wife drives our MINI Cooper. I wish we had two so that I could drive it all the time. I just can't say enough good things about this car.

My MINI Cooper has been one of the best cars that I have ever owned. I would buy another MINI in a heartbeat. I am 5'10" 240 lbs. and fitting in cars with the width of my back is hard but I fit in this car with no problem. Everyone I know fits in my car, from my 6'4" brother to my 5'4" 120lb girlfriend. This car is great.

I've had my Cooper S for over a year and
it has been a wonderful car. Great
handling, stable on the highway and lots
of fun at the track! It wasn't hard to
pass cars 2, 3 and 4x more expensive
than the Mini.

What a great car! I drove an RX7 for
the past 15 years and it was hard to
give up, but with 2 little boys, I
needed a back seat. I still wanted
something fun and sporty though. The
Cooper certainly fits the bill.
Lot's of power, even for the non-S
version. A "big car" ride for such a
little shrimp. And typical superior
Beemer quality throughout. The Sport
and Premium packages (leather, on board
computer, sunroof, cd player etc.) make
it feel even more like a luxury car.
But the best part is the feel of this
little guy gripping the road. It is an
absolute joy to drive.
Be prepared to stop and answer lot's of
questions about it.

Extremely fun to drive, excellent
handling even without the optional
sport suspension! At it's best on the
turns, where most other cars have to
slow down, the Mini does it with ease.
Definitely an eye catcher, solid built
construction, economic. Go drive one,
take it on a windy road, and get ready
to smile :)

I bought my Mini used, only 11,000
miles, as a gas miser. I've only had
it a couple of months, but now I can't
stand to drive any of our other
vehicles. It's June in Atlanta and
I'm still driving without the A/C:
it's just so darn FUN! I still have
one year's worth of bumper-to-bumper
manufacturer's warranty (exc. tires).
My windshield is cracked, but not
unsafe; it's been backordered for 6
weeks so far.
