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.
We're fans 3 times over...
This is our first MINI and still the newest we own. It's been a ton of fun and extremely trustworthy. It has enough umf to be a great car in the mountains and twistys and more than enough car for 99% of life's needs. We've hauled some furniture, even a snowblower in the back. With the roof rack on one trip to Vegas with 3 of us the bellmen at the Bellagio unloaded 16 bags, backpacks, compression sacks and containers. It's also phenomenal in snow. We have two sets of tires, one set of Blizzaks just for the snowy season mid October to mid April and we can drive though anything we've encountered. Some of the things we didn't like were the run flat tires, some handling behaviours on uneven surfaces and the mileage. We've beefed up the anti sway bar to a solid 23mm bar, strut brace and got rid of the run flats and the handling is much better. We added a JB1 plugin tune and the performance and mileage improved. We also do our own maintenance. We enjoyed it so much we added a 2006 R50 and we recently added a 2011 R57 Cooper S Convertible.

Not "more fun in a MINI"
Since the day I picked the car up at the dealer I had a problem. The radio overheated and turned off on my drive home. I've had it in the shop over four times, the radio replaced, and it still has the same problem. Apparently all Mini's have this problem; it's not just mine. They pulled other Coopers off the lot to perform the same test, and found the same result. I was finally was turned over to the regional office to resolve my issue since the radio is "operating as designed". After four months of dealing with them, I'm offered either a buy back, or a cash settlement to buy an after market radio which doesn't exist. If you experience the same issues, take it in immediately. The buy back value is based off of the mileage when you first had it in the shop for the repair. It's a cute car with some great features, yet it appears they just tried to put too much in a small space.

One problem after another
I was so excited to buy a mini for the first car i had ever purchased on my own, i was fortunate enough to be able to buy a brand new one! After only having the car for 6 months i started having problems starting with my tire pressure monitors. My left tire pressure monitor kept saying that it was low and flat but when i looked at the tire it was fine and the air compressor part said i had fine air pressure. Than my car started having transmission/engine problems at only 8,000 miles as well as my car redlining at 25 mph. My car is now dying when i make sharp left and right hand turns, as well as the car redlining at 25 and finally shifting to a higher gear after i have no choice but to floor it and have the rpms at 8 on the rpm screen on the car than once it finally shift the car knocks you forward with a loud and hard clunking noise. I have had it with this car! Mini and BMW customer relations have been a total pain to deal with saying it hasn't been serviced enough to help me with a problem. NO car should drive like this!! My car is still in the service department currently and the service techs have no idea what is causing the problems or how to fix it saying they feel what I'm talking about but not sure if its a mechanical problem or electronic issue... Its safe to say i will not be recommending this car to anyone not even my worst enemy! if i could give it 0 stars i would.

Cuteness will fade when you go to the gas pump
I purchased this 2014 MINI Countryman new as the design was unique and quite cute. However, the stitching in the seats allows for chronic crumbs and dust to settle which requires frequent vacuuming. The car uses at least a mid-premium gas and does horribly with the gas mileage - not as stated. The car is sluggish going up hills. There is very little space in the front of the car to store things. All that being said, I am in the process of trading the car in for something more economical on gas, more space to store and a better interior seat design. In addition, the front tires needed replacement at 24,000 miles. The dealer said they 'are high performance tires and wear quickly' .
