When I got the Mini I did not think it was powerful enough but I was sure wrong not only is it powerful enough it is the most luxurious car I have ever steped into. It's not like BMW luxurious its like leather couch luxurious. It is a very good choice to buy the Mini Cooper.

Best Car. . .Ever

The MINI Cooper S is, without a doubt, one of the greatest autos ever delivered to the masses. It combines just about every ideal for a car, from safety to sporty, economy to performance, capacity to compactness (read "park it anywhere"). I've had mine for a year and have literally nothing but praise for it, and can't wait to drive it every time I've got to go somewhere. Now I'm just wondering when the honeymoon will end.

I bought this car from the previous owner who babied the car and had virtually no mileage. I argued with my family and friends that if I had to drive a "fuel economy" car it would at least not be generic, so I bought the Mini. To say I have been let down with this car and BMW's backing of this car would be the understatement of the millennium! The transmission went at 42,000 miles and the wanted 7,500 to replace it, even though there were hundreds of similar complaints of faulty tranny's, BMW simply turned its head! Next were the window motors, the end caps of the rain gutters, the exhaust (at over a grand), the power steering pump, and more! This car is the biggest pile of garbage around!

Perfection?

When I first sat in the Mini Cooper, in the mid 70's, I was blown away at the abundance of space! When I first heard it was being re-designed, and introduced into the U.S., I had to order it! After waiting 3 months, to that final test drive, I nearly had a heart attack. The low end power was incredible! Then, when I got behind the wheel of the "Big Dog" the Mini Cooper S, I knew it was for me. Everything fromt he ample space to the incledible German Engineering made me fall in love all over again, and all for a moderate price! It truly is an amazing car! I wish the "Fun to drive" column didn't end at 10!
