42 mpg on the highway last weekend! Whoo hoo! This little car delivers: fun to drive, economical on gas and overall price, and a babe magnet (both sexes). I have such a great time driving my MINI, I just can't stop smiling. When I park my car, usually there's somebody asking me questions and when I return to the car often it has attracted a crowd of admirers.

It was a big let down. I thought it would be better than a vw bug. It has a for sale sign on it now. It is noisy poor excelleration and the exhaust is rattling. very poorly made. not bmw quality

I turned in my Miata and thought I should get a MINI. Cool ads in the mags. Test drove one and thought it was cool. After just three weeks I miss my Miata so much. The MINI supposedly is faster, but I can barely get to 60 in less than 10 seconds. Also, I have had to take it in for service twice in the first month. Not a good choice.

Within two weeks of buying a MINI, the engine just does not perform as it should. This car has been a Major Mistake. I should have just bought a 1994 Geo Metro. Would have looked about the same and been just as unreliable.

Not sure what the fuss was about. Went and bought me a Mini two months ago and have had nothing but headaches. The engine has stalled twice on the highway, luckily I was able to coast into the service lane. The dealership is not able to replicate the problem so they say they cannot fix it. Nightmare 101!
