Love my new used Mini. It's very fast, it's a ragtop and I can park almost anywhere. It does everything I was looking for and it is pretty adorable as well.
Absolute blast to drive

Small sports car with big attitude.. jump in hammer down the throttle and the turbo pushes you back in to the seat. Hit the corners and car dives into them. Takes years off your life :-) . Last but not least it's a very comfortable car on long distances and back seat is fine for short trips. Year later Same exact sentiments

Love , love this car. I bought a JCW and it's clearly a car for people who love to drive. My previous car was an Audi TDI that was bought back by Audi as part of the diesel gate. I looked into a new GTI but they're made in Mexico, not buying a German car made in Mexico. I contemplated buying another Audi but wanted to try something completely different this time. There is nothing practical about this car. It's really just a two seater with an average size trunk. Other two seaters are just too small for my height (over6'). It gets good mpg but the tank is too small. The most disappointing thing about the purchase was the buying process. There is only one MINI dearer in my city and it's either pay their price or don't and they only had one JCW conv. . I was able to negotiate a little off their price but according to Edmunds I still paid too much. I have had the car for three months and have had no problems. Although I am really enjoying this car and have no serious complaints right now I'm sorry to say but it will probably be my only MINI purchase. Next time I go back to another German car.

I recently began having a problem with my 2018 Mini. The top wouldn't go down. I went to the dealer today to have it checked out. They charged me $221 for a diagnostic fee to tell me what was wrong. Apparently one of the cables in the mechanism broke. In order to resolve the problem I need to buy a frame that includes the cables. They quoted me a price of $4600- I'm really disappointed that a car that isn't that old would have such an expensive repair. The cost is almost half the value of my car. I sent an e-mail to the corporate offices of Mini Cooper. They did call me back and they said they would review the problem and if it were something that would have been covered by warranty, they would cover the cost. Several days later they called back and said they wouldn’t cover the cost. This is all happening shortly after I paid $1300 to replace a motor mount, and $300- to replace a burned out tail light. I'm not going to have the roof fixed, due to the cost. I basically own a hard top car now. My Mini only has 47, 000 miles. I'm going to hold on to the car while I decide what to replace it with. Just thought I'd share my experience...The quality of these cars is terrible, and the support from Mini Cooper/BMW has been a terrible customer service experience.
