Gotta love MINI but hate MINI problems
Always been a huge fan of MINI but I've literally had so many problems with this car. Something went wrong when they designed it and even MINI mechanic told me that BMW parts aren't great. It's an awesome car but so not reliable. So far...the wheel bearings went, clutch, fly wheel, fuel pump and spark plugs. My car has 43k miles and none of this really should be happening. Did I get a lemon? Not sure...MINI seems to blame quality of parts. Some things were recalled...just been frustrating. When a MINI mechanic tells you this is typical...you know something is up. I wish they were reliable.

MINI gives the Maxi
Don't expect super luxury or technology.....although both are OK. Expect a fun driving experience; expect people asking you about your car as it's a bit unique. Good overall interior room......seats 5 which is good for a small car. Fun to own and drive. Now after almost 4 years I have 57K miles on the car; still having fun with it. Great to drive, good gas mileage, responsive......overall a great experience. Now I have 67K miles on the car......still performing up to expectations. No big issues, just normal maintenance. Still recommending the car to those who want a unique and fun experience. I'm up to 92K miles......car runs great; still fun to drive. Continue to believe the car is a good one for people who want something different. OK....hit the 100K milestone! All is good. Had 1 issue with broken hood cable/locks....could not open good....no fun and dealer was not sympathetic. Otherwise still a fine auto....

Love my little mini!
I was looking for a car that would be perfect for my family if 3 but still work if we decide to have another child. My husband and I were both astonished by the room in the backseat! He could sit back there no problem and he's 6'3. I knew I wanted a suv but I wanTed something not too bulky. This fit the bill and then some. The sound is good so I won need to replace anything and I love how the keyless entry is standard. It's a joy to drive and my husband and I fight over the drivers seat. Even my 7 year old thinks mommy has a cool car. We don't drive to work so I doubt we will have much engine problems and it's keeps the gas cheap. Wasn't a fan to find out it takes premium gas.
Fun yet dependable
I am an account executive and I do a lot of city stop and go driving. This car has been fun and reliable. Other than regular maintenance, it has been trouble free!

Fun to drive but interior so so
Fun car to drive (not sure why one of the reviewers didn't like it so much) - I think the boost of the turbocharger on the Cooper S is great. I drive a six speed and find changing gears smooth specially between 1 and 2 which to me is the true test of a manual. I used to drive an Accord with a manual and it was a pain to shift (if you can find one these days). I find it a pleasant change from drive a boat of an average mid size car however the looks of a Ford Fusion is tempting. Interior not so great. Bench seat is an option!!
